Description | Cartoon shows the Kaiser William II of Germany as a frustrated German soldier, hemmed in by French, British, American, and Serbian bayonets. The concept of a "Superman" was popularized by the German philosopher Nietzche. Before World War I, William was known for his arrogant militaristic stance. The cartoon was probably drawn in the closing days of the war as it became clear that Germany was no match for the combined Allied powers. |
