Kaiser Wilhelm was not head of government.
That was the Chancellor. Furthermore, the
decision to back Austria to the hilt in
forcing war with Serbia was taken without
even informing him. So he cannot be ranked
ahead of Wilson.
As for Emperor Taisho, since he was, basically,
a brain-damaged halfwit, it's hard to see how
he had any power at all. |
