Description | Cartoon shows a disgusted-looking man, sitting in a chair labeled "W. Hohenzollern," holding a newspaper with the headline: "Ebert Is Elected President of Germany." After Kaiser William II (whose family name was Hohenzollern) was forced to abdicate at the close of World War I, the new German republic elected Friedrich Ebert, a former saddle maker, as its first president on February 6, 1919. The cartoonist imagines the Kaiser's dismay. |
