Bülow, Bernhard Heinrich Martin Karl, Prince Von Bülow
German diplomat and politician. He was chancellor of the German Empire 190009 under Kaiser Wilhelm II and, holding that self-interest was the only rule for any state, adopted attitudes to France and Russia that unintentionally reinforced the trend towards opposing European power groups: the Triple Entente (Britain, France, Russia) and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy).
