Maybe that's inevitable early in the book because Willy was the eldest of the three.
And perhaps that he is still viilifed as the evil gluttonous ruler thirsty for world dominance are left-over sentiments she grew up hearing about (this is simply an assumption.) Remeber in England during and the build up to WWI there was severe anti-German feelings in the country which continued years after WWII.

Second, it should be known that Kaiser really wanted Germany to be a contender on the world stage, but so did Russia. Who nation didn't? It was the good for Germany at first, I believe... but it didn't turn out all that well.

I must also say that I am a Kaiser "fan" (as strange as it may sound.) He the most difficutl person to figure out. Clearly the guy had an emotional problems.. which leads me to the question: Do you think he had ADD, ADHD, or was he Bipolar? Page 11 is a good kick off regarding this issue. What was going on here?
