Kaiser Wilhelm I. Vlasov N.

About the life of any person can be written an exciting book. But there are biographies that are just perfect for this. One of the typical examples is the Prussian King, and then the first emperor of the United Germany Wilhelm I Hohenzollern (1797-1888). His life was not only long, but also saturated with bright events and dramatic turns. It had everything - unhappy love with a tragic end and a conflict of generations, forced emigration and frantic popularity. Wilhelm I was a step away from the renunciation and on the hair from death. The main period in his biography began when he was already preparing to adequately meet old age. Initially intended for a military career, by virtue of a combination of circumstances, he became one of the most powerful monarchs of Europe (his sister’s husband, Russian emperor Nicholas I) was the same “soldier on the throne”). He ruled his country for three decades - by no means a record time against the backdrop of Queen Victoria or Franz Joseph, but it was a whole era in the history of Germany.
