Daily Telegraph Affair

The Daily Telegraph Affair (German: Daily-Telegraph-Affäre) was the uproar that followed the 28 October 1908 publication in British newspaper The Daily Telegraph of comments by German Emperor Wilhelm II intended to improve German–British relations. It was a major diplomatic blunder that worsened relations and badly hurt the Kaiser's reputation; after that he played a much smaller role in deciding foreign policy. The episode had a far greater impact in Germany than overseas.
