alright, here i am with my kids, circa 1874
heres my fourth wife, elizabeth annie franz, circa 1846
later on id become king of prussia and emperor of germany from 1888-1918. under my rule, germany embarked on a major colonial expansion, and also greatly increased the size of my navy.
when archduke ferdinand was assasinated in 1914, i supported the austo-hungarian empire's declaration of war on serbia. when france and russia sided with Serbia, germany launched attacks on both, and i had the dubious distinction of starting world war one.
In 1918, as germany attempted to negotiate an armistaice, i fled to the netherlands, where i lived until many thought i had died in 1941. im living proof that this is incorrect.
this is my decoration for my bravery in the 1900 china war, when i was serving with the british light infantry.
here i am (not exactly sure where precisely), on one of the collapsible life boats the titanic was able to release before the ship went down. my old man took the pic as he waited for my boarding of the californian - the ship which so many of us boarded.
these are just a few of my more memorable snap shots. ill be sure to post more.
