Kaiser der Deutschen translating as emperor of the Germans and Deutscher Kaiser as German emperor is first-year language course stuff. How it could come up as “German Kaiser” is beyond me.

The title, in the context of the mid-19th century, was specifically chosen to imply a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch derived his sovereignty from the nation, of which he was the representative, rather than a monarchy of divine right; it was inspired by the “king of the French” which had replaced the “king of France” after the July Revolution, which was a source of inspiration for the German national movement. (King of Belgians and king of the Hellenes also date from that time.) This is why Frederick William IV of Prussia rejected a “crown from the gutter”. (Half-)translating it with the title later taken up by his brother in Bismarck’s Empire is historical nonsense, and I fail to see what Google statistics have to do with it.

I will make no further attempt to edit this article. Most of it reads like it also comes from Google rather than from a sentient human being anyway.
