Ah well, add in an autocratic Kaiser and not much democratic history remains.
Two? You mean the Kaiser was a dictator? By the people he was seen as a benevolent monarch, his internal policies are often seen as better than Bismarck's.
Sure, I'm no fan of his, but that's mostly because I blame him for our involvement in the war and a failed foreign policy, nothing to do with him being an evil dictator(except that he booted Bismarck ).

An overwhelming amount of Germans also wished that history had let them keep their Kaiser, and I think that is especially a high amount of those who still lived under the Kaiser. The Kaiser was so sad about being away from his beloved people that he died of misery not too long after the war, one could speculate that things could have gone a much better path had he been left in power.
