EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in German political history, as Prince Bernhard von Bulow (1849-1929) bids farewell to Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) on the Hohenzollern, the imperial yacht, in 1909. As Chancellor of Germany from 1900 to 1909, Prince von Bulow played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the German Empire during a tumultuous period. The image reveals the strong bond between the Kaiser and his Chancellor, with both men dressed in formal attire and exuding an air of authority. The Hohenzollern, anchored in the tranquil waters, serves as a fitting backdrop for their farewell, symbolizing the stability and power of the German Empire at the time. Prince von Bulow's tenure as Chancellor was marked by his assertive foreign policy, which included the infamous "Bulow Paradox," a statement that Germany was both peacefully inclined and militarily strong. However, this approach ultimately led to tensions with other European powers, particularly Britain, and contributed to the deteriorating international situation that would culminate in World War I. Despite the challenges he faced, Prince von Bulow remained a respected and influential figure in German politics until his resignation in 1909. He was succeeded by Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, who would face even greater challenges in the years leading up to the war. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in German history, as one Chancellor prepares to pass the mantle to another, against the backdrop of a powerful and complex empire.
