Emperor Wilhelm II reauthorized the Iron Cross on 5 August 1914, at the start of World War I. During these three periods, the Iron Cross was an award of the Kingdom of Prussia, although—given Prussia’s pre-eminent place in the German Empire formed in 1871—it tended to be treated as a generic German decoration.
