專家說明

Under the leadership of William and his Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) Prussia achieved the unification of Germany and the establishment of the German Empire. In his memoirs, Bismarck describes William as an old-fashioned, courteous, infallibly polite gentleman and a genuine Prussian officer, whose good common sense was occasionally undermined by 'female influences'.
