If Germany Wins -- the Kaisers sons, WW1
A rather sickening and defeatist (or perhaps tongue-in-cheek) item, suggesting what might happen if Germany wins the First World War. Just as Napoleon placed his family members on various European thrones, so Wilhelm II might appoint his sons to different countries. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
If Germany Wins: A Hypothetical and Controversial Vision of the Kaisers Sons' Reigns in Europe during World War I (1914) This intriguing and thought-provoking photograph print, titled "If Germany Wins," offers a sickening yet fascinating glimpse into the hypothetical outcome of World War I had Germany emerged victorious. The image, which dates back to 1914, depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II's sons in various European uniforms, suggesting the possibility of their appointments to different thrones, reminiscent of Napoleon Bonaparte's placement of his family members across Europe. The image features Crown Prince Wilhelm, Eitel Friedrich, August Wilhelm, Adalbert, Oskar, and Joachim, all dressed in the uniforms of their potential future countries. The caption beneath the photograph reads, "Supposing Germany wins the war, these are the Kaisers sons who might rule Europe." The notion of such a scenario was not only sickening to those who hoped for an Allied victory but also tongue-in-cheek, given the uncertainty and instability of the wartime situation. This historical print offers a fascinating insight into the geopolitical landscape of Europe during World War I, as well as the power dynamics and family politics that underpinned the conflict. The image serves as a stark reminder of the complex web of alliances, ambitions, and power struggles that characterized the First World War and its aftermath. The photograph print, with its intriguing and provocative premise, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, military history buffs, and anyone interested in the political and social dynamics of Europe during the early 20th century. It is a captivating and thought-provoking addition to any collection, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
