Background to the War [ANIMAL]
We have conquered for ourselves a place in the sun. It will now be my task to see to it that this place in the sun shall remain our undisputed possession, in order that the sun's rays may fall fruitfully upon our activity and trade in foreign parts... The more Germans go out upon the waters, whether it be in journeys across the ocean, or in the service of the battle flag, so much the better it will be for us.
A speech by Kaiser Wilhelm to the German Regatta Association, 1901. The argument which follows suggests that Europe in 1914 was RIPE for war to break out
