Kaiser Wilhelm was the emperor of Germany during WWI. At the end of the war, he resigned as emperor and fled the country in order to escape signing the Treaty of Versailles, which was extremely unfair to Germany. He left the weak, democratic Weimar Republic in power in his place, which was soon replaced by Hitler and the Third Reich.

Why was Kaiser Wilhelm II born with an infected arm?
Kaiser Wilhelm's arm was not infected, it was deformed. His left arm was smaller than the right with nerve damage that made it useless for many normal activities. The most widespread belief is that this resulted from complications at birth. During delivery, the survival of the infant and mother were both endangered by the position of the infant Wilhelm. One of the physicians attending the birth used a forceps to pull the infant out of the birth canal by the arm, apparently causing the damage. A few have speculated that the damage may in fact have been caused by a fall that his mother took during the fourth month of her pregnancy. In any event, the withered arm was a major issue in Wilhelm's life.

Was the Us in the Central Powers or the allies?
This is a confusion of notions: typically "the allies" refers to WWII while "central powers" refers to WWI.
Before WWI Germany made the triple-alliance with Italy and Austria-Hungary.
Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire joined the alliance, against the Entente with UK, France and Russia. Other countries like Romania and Japan joined the Entente too.
When Italy swapped sides in 1915, the remainder of the German war alliance was called the central powers. The United States entered the war first in 1917, after unprovoked naval attacks, fighting with the Entente against the central powers in the last year of the war.
In WWII the term "the allies" was used about those fighting with the UK against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan, with their collaborators). When USA entered the war in 1941, Soviet already had swapped sides leaving the pact with Hitler. At that time it was basically the the British commonwealth and Soviet against the Axis.
