      I would ask the question, why are male leaders and heads of state revered? Do we know what kind of fathers they were? Most likely not. And even if we know they were cold/uninvolved fathers (likely true in most cases), we still revere them. We do not ask about what kind of parent they were, nor do we care. Why should female leaders and heads of state be held to a different standard?

    If Wilhelm's cousins, the Tsar of Russia and the King of England (who despised him - probably because they saw him as a cripple) had listened to him WWI would not have happened. It started with a Serbian terrorist killing the Heir to the Austrian throne and his wife by shooting them in a car provided by local officials. AUSTRIA made demands of SERBIA, etc. Austria and Germany had an agreement that Germany would side with Austria if Russia took up with the other side. He begged his cousins to say out of it. They did not. The Tsar and his family were executed by revolutionaries. Willhelm lost his throne, and King George did just fine, thank you.

    • @michaelflick1177

      The Tsar started the war by mobilising his massive army on the German border, a very stupid act. The German Kaiser repeatedly warned the Tsar of the consequences. The Tsar failed to listen and war was the outcome. The Romanov dynasty was deeply unpopular. Russia was not capable of fighting any war due to a lack of weaponry, ammunition, insufficient uniforms, boots, warm clothing, adequate transportation and food supplies. It was bound to end up with millions dead and revolution as the consequence. Nicholas was advised to send his wife and children to the Crimea in the south. He stupidly didn't listen and when revolution broke out the family was trapped in the north from where there could be no escape anywhere. The German and Austro-Hungarian rulers lost their thrones as the Americans refused to come to a peace while they remained in power. That was the rampant stupidity of President Wilson that caused massive political insecurity in central Europe. George V survived as he was a constitutional monarch. He sided with the people. The elected government ruled and not the King. Nicholas was a bloody tyrant. Autocrats don't do democracy. It's hardly surprising that he was overthrown and subsequently murdered. After all he murdered millions of his own people.
