| Notes |
In 1870, Siemens returned to Berlin and participated in the founding of Deutsche Bank. In April of that year, Siemens became the director of Deutsche Bank before being commissioned as a lieutenant of the 4th Brandenburg Infantry Regiment for the Franco-German War.
From 1872-1874, Siemens led the establishment of Deutsche Bank in London, Paris, New York City, Argentina, Uruguay, Shanghai, and Yokohama. The branches in Argentina, Uruguay, Shanghai, and Yokohama were later liquidated due to financial trouble. |
