| | Röhl, John C. The Kaiser and His Court: Wilhelm II and the Government of Germany. | | | Although Philipp zu Eulenburg began his career inauspiciously as a merely adequate member of the German diplomatic corps, his fortuitous meeting with Crown Prince Wilhelm, soon to be Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the subsequent close friendship between the two men catapulted Eulenburg into a position of enormous personal influence over German politics and policy. | | | Some believe that Wilhelm's knee-jerk reaction to avoid the taint of homosexuality only exacerbated Germany's hyper-militaristic leanings, thus helping set the stage for the disaster of World War I. Eulenburg lived in retirement without further contact with German government or the Kaiser until his death in 1921. |
