She cannot play her part in the world, the part due to German mind and energy, without acquiring a similar dominion ; and since the path of peaceful acquisition is closed to her or at any rate not sufficiently open to gratify her ambition as rapidly and ex- tensively as she desires she must force her way by violence. In accordance with these ambitions Germany has de- veloped within the last twenty-five years an entirely new religion of war. It is based, not on Bismarck, who in theory at least r...epudiated it, but on the old Prussian military 33 Germany and the Prussian Spirit authorities, and in particular on Clausewitz.
