Willy-Nicky Correspondence

During our first talk on the origins of the war, our panelists mentioned the "Willy-Nicky Correspondence," a series of letters and telegrams between Wilhelm II of Germany and Nicholas II of Russia exchanged just prior to World War I.  The letters are available online through the Brigham Young University World War I Document Archive and provide additional insight into the politics of Europe on the brink of war.
