What happens
Despite vain Dutch attempts to resist the German advance, the government saw no choice but to capitulate in the face of overwhelming German force. German troops freed the old Kaiser from his house arrest at Huis Doorn, and has since his return to Berlin been ceremoniously reinstated as Kaiser of the German Empire. The Kaiser has already vowed to see Germany returned to its old greatness, but it remains to be seen which direction the nation will take with its diplomacy.
