SMY Hohenzollern

Built in 1892, SMY Hohenzollern was Kaiser Wilhelm II’s luxurious imperial yacht. At 120 meters long, it combined opulence with naval innovation, hosting diplomatic voyages and attending royal regattas like Cowes Week.

3rd crack at my #kaiserwilhelmii portrait study. Study after "portrait" by Philip de laszlo 1908 #masterstudy #mastercopy. I learned a bunch!

#KaiserWilhelmII gave Austria-Hungary his notorious 'blank check,' reassuring the #Habsburg empire of #Germany's unconditional support; this foolish carte blanche led Austria's foreign secretary Leopold Berchtold to make war on Serbia, launching #WorldWarI...

#KaiserWilhelmII died in exile #OnThisDay in 1941 after having blundered into #WorldWarI, which eventually provoked a revolution; he oversaw the first #genocide of the 20th c. — in Deutsch-Südwestafrika (now Namibia) between 1904-1908

#OnThisDay in 1920, the Dutch government rejected a demand by the Allies for the extradition of #KaiserWilhelmII, who had been living in exile in the Netherlands since 1918; Willy was guilty of serious war crimes & hardly deserved such generosity...
