Post A quarter 3 week 6 quote

"More cosmopolitan and more timid than the archetype Prussian, he had never actually wanted a general war. He wanted greater power, greater prestige, above all more authority in the world's affairs for Germany but he preferred to obtain them by frightening rather than by fighting other nations" (75). This quote is very important because one of the main people who caused the war was the German Kaiser, who this quote is describing. It shows how some people's pride allow themselevs to believe they are more powerful than the common man, so they will kill millions of them for something they don't necessarily want to do, but do it in the name of pride anyway.
