Best Answer

There were many bad leaders in World War 1. Sir Douglas Haig is known as one of the worst generals during this war, mainly because he authorized offensives that cost a lot of lives. In his defence it has to be said that not a single Allied or German general at that time had any experience with (or an effective answer to) the kind of trench warfare that had been developing.

Other 'bad' leaders that deserve mention are the German kaiser Wilhelm II and German general Ludendorff. The first because he never used his authority to give any kind of direction to events and allowed Germany to change from a democracy to a military Dictatorship in the last years of the war; the latter because he was the one making himself the military dictator, allowing Germany's economy to go down the drain, keeping German soldiers fighting even when he knew things had become hopeless and finally refusing to accept responsibility for Germany's defeat when it came.
