Kaiser

Kaiser is a German title, historically designating German and Austrian emperors. While it can refer to rulers above the rank of king globally, in English, it primarily denotes the emperors of the unified German Empire and the Austrian Empire, particularly between 1871 and 1918. During World War I, the term, especially concerning Wilhelm II, acquired a negative connotation in English-speaking regions due to anti-German sentiment.
