There have been many kings of Germany. Germany is a federation of many small states and at one time (prior to the first world war) each of these small states had its own ruler. Some of these states were places like Bavaria and Prussia.
The last one who bore the title of "king of Germany" was Francis II (1792-1806). He was also Roman Emperor (Holy Roman Empire) and archduke of Austria.
In 1806 he lay down his imperial crown and thus dissolved the Holy Roman Empire as well as the kingdom of Germany. Both entities have become synonymous by the late middle ages.
The German nation state of today never had a king as head of state. It was constituted as a federal state of various German principalities with a German emperor on top who was king of Prussia at the same time in 1871.
Germany had an emperor (Kaiser in German)in 1900, not a king. From memory, Kaiser Wilhelm 2.
From the formation of a united Germany in 1871 until the end of World War I in 1918, Germany was ruled by a king known as a kaiser.
Kaiser Wilhelm II (reigned 1888-1918).

Before the outbreak of war in 1939 Germany was almost entirely German.
The outbreak of another world war in 1939 was in part caused by the British appeasement-policy of the 1930s. Other factors were responsible, as well, such as the intentional and determined aggression of Germany.

WAR
Here is the main summary of why World War 2 happened from an article. World War Two began in September 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany following Germany's invasion of Poland. Although the outbreak of war was triggered by Germany's invasion of Poland, the causes of the war are more complex.
hittler was the 'king of germany'
No, it ended some time before. Germany stopped paying reparations, resulting in France occupying the Rhur district, Germany's industrial centre. When Hitler came to power, he pretty much rejected the Versailles treaty, effectively stopping any restraints on Germany. This was some time before the outbreak of the war though I'm uncertain of the exact dates.
All of the major players in WWI possessed machine guns before the outbreak of the war.
