<span>While Wilhelm did not actively seek war, and tried to hold back his generals from mobilizing the German army in the summer of 1914, his verbal outbursts and his open enjoyment of the title of Supreme War Lord helped bolster the case of those who blamed him for the conflict. His role in the conduct of the war as well as his responsibility for its outbreak is still controversial. Some historians maintain that Wilhelm was controlled by his generals, while others argue that he retained considerable political power. In late 1918, he was forced to abdicate. He spent the rest of his life in exile in the Netherlands, where he died at age 82.</span>

Most of the Popes of the Renaissance period (1450-1600) were very 'worldly' (that is rich and immoral politicians) instead of real 'churchmen' (Adrian VI being an exception). Their policies for the most part were to.....
1. Build and take over the 'Papal States' of central Italy giving Popes an actual 'country' to be in charge of.
2. Break the power of and make war on rival 'great families' of Italy using foreign troops/ mercenaries (most of the Renaissance Popes were from rich Italian great families such as the Medici, Farnese, etc. they used their position as Pope to take out rival families such as the Orsini, Colonna etc.).
3.Being rich and used to riches they beautified Rome with art, jewels, gold, fountains, architecture.
The impact on the Church was that no one was really paying attention to running it, just using it, or paying attention to religious matters. To the truly religious the Popes behavior of the times were mostly disgusting. The 'Reformation' and Protestantism (the religious breaking away and starting their own independent Churches) started elsewhere in Europe during the period as a result.
