And here I must observe that these two groups 102 THE LOST FRUITS OF WATERLOO had come into existence in the most natural way. Bismarck had founded the Triple Alliance as a means of preserving peace, not as a means of aggression; but it had become something more than he intended it to be. It had enabled Ger- many to play such a part in European pohtics that the creation of another great group as a balance was apparently demanded. Imme- diately that her position was lowered Germany felt aggrieve...d that the combination had been made against her. So powerful were her con- victions about her wrongs that she threw away all thought of a concert of the Great Powers for the settlement of the difficulty. She had trusted to the Balance to protect her; but she now con- sidered it something more than a state of equi- librimn and she appealed to arms. Before this narrative recounts the actual events by which she felt that she was justified in taking this step, it is necessary to consider the Balkan question, a series of causes and events which for nearly a century has been an open menace to European peace and stability.
