Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg: A Pivotal Figure in German History (1856-1921) This color litho captures the Investiture of German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg in 1898, marking the beginning of his influential tenure. Amidst complex Russian diplomacy, Bethmann Hollweg asserted his authority by denying political leaders direct access to Kaiser Wilhelm II, as depicted in another litho. Amidst the festive spirit, a color litho shows a German Christmas market bustling with activity, while Bethmann Hollweg, seen in a 1911 photo, navigated the intricacies of war and peace. In another black and white image, Kaiser Wilhelm II is seen with senior German military commanders, reflecting the political climate during Bethmann Hollweg's time in office. As the First World War approached, Bethmann Hollweg's leadership was put to the ultimate test. In 1917, the King of Bavaria visited Imperial German Army headquarters, underscoring the gravity of the situation. Yet, despite the challenges, Bethmann Hollweg's legacy as a pivotal figure in German history endures.
