Kaiser Wilhelm did far better. He was able to instigate regime change in Russia by sending Lenin back from exile in Vienna.
The Germans and Lenin’s Bolsheviks signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk in early 1918, which gave large tracts of territory in Ukraine other parts of the western Russian empire to Germany and Austria. Russia was soon plunged into civil war.
Of course, Germany lost WW1 shortly after the winning the battle in Russia, and communism has killed millions around the world since then.
NATO has been hoping to repeat the Kaiser’s “success”.
