Willy–Nicky correspondence : ウィキペディア英語版 | Willy–Nicky correspondence
The Willy–Nicky correspondence was a set of messages relayed between Wilhelm II, German Emperor, and Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia during the eve of the First World War. ==Context and background== Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II were third cousins (both were great-great-grandsons of Paul I of Russia), and the Kaiser was a first cousin of Nicholas's wife, Alix of Hesse. The emperors corresponded in English and were accustomed to calling each other "Willy" and "Nicky" but would use their counterparts' formal names in formal communications. The source of the telegrams is ''The German White Book'',〔In full ''Das Deutsche Weißbuch über den Ausbruch des deutsch-russisch-französischen Krieges'', or ''The German White Book on the Outbreak of the German-Russian-French War''〕〔The World War I Document Archive: (The German White Book )〕〔Stowell, Ellery Cory (1915) ''(The Diplomacy of the War of 1914: The beginnings of the war )''. Boston: Houghton Mifflin p. 252〕〔(Some sources ) state that the source of these telegrams is Isaac Don Levine's book ''Letters from the Kaiser to the Czar: copied from government archives in Petrograd unpublished before 1920'' but this is incorrect.〕 a pamphlet of official documents published to justify the German Government's position after the outbreak of war.〔The National Archives: (German White Book )〕 The term ''Willy-Nicky Telegrams'' is derived from ''The Willy-Nicky Correspondence'', the title of a book by Herman Bernstein published in 1918 which revealed the personal telegraphic correspondence between the two emperors during the period June 1904 to August 1907.〔Bernstein, Herman (1918) ''The Willy-Nicky Correspondence: Being the Secret and Intimate Telegrams Exchanged between the Kaiser and the Tsar.''. Knopf, New York. , 〕〔And which, therefore, does not include the telegrams discussed here.〕
