German Unification (Editorial)

“The alliance system, which had kept Germany out of war for so long, has forced us into one.” For almost a century after the fall of Napoleon in 1815, Europe has been largely peaceful. Until now. With the Franco-Prussian War, and other revolutions in 1848, the systematic dismantling of unity which has been so supported is now undergoing an ironic dismantling. They tell us Central Europe is growing up! If it is then how come it is …

…machine gun, airplanes and tanks are giving new meaning to the horrors of war. In the end, the alliance system is simply too much for anyone to handle. It takes on a life of its own, and is self destructing our’s.The most serious menace to the peace of Europe lies here in Germany, although we might not figure that out until it is too late and more chaos is aroused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** none
