What an nonsense. He was also king in Prussia - but this title was no German title - this had been a Polish title made once from a Polish king. That's why it is correctly called "King in Prussia" and not "King of Prussia". The Holy Roman Empire never accepted this title.
The Prussians had conquered one German nation/country by the next German country. They called this countries "colony" after they had conquered it. No joke! In the end the Prussians had been able to provoke France to declare war on Germany - what forced all other German countries to support the Prussians. The united German armies wan against France and as a result the Prussians declared the so called "German empire" (An expression which is by the way a contradiction in itselve). Indeed this "empire" (=new nation) had to be called "Prussian empire" and not "German empire". And the so called German emperor (crowned in Versailles in the followership of Napoleon Bonaparte - what had absolutelly nothing to do with Germany) was no German emperor but a Prussian emperor over Germany. William 1st was not so bad - but his son - the Brit and Prussian William 2nd was a pure disaster. What an unbelievable idiot. He showed very clear: Then time for nobles (or other elites) to rule a united nation is over.
Sing along. Altogether now.
