While the matter was still under discussion, Gladstone, at that time Prime Minister, urged the necessity of a referendum, and prophesied that a policy of annexation would be a standing reproach to Europe, and the beginning of a new series of European complications. Nothing, however, was done, and the Germans had their way. They were inspired by a mixture of motives. One of the strongest was perhaps sentiment, which always appeals to the German. German historians preached that Alsace and Lorrain...e were lost provinces of the old German Empire of the Middle Ages ; and they awoke in the minds of the German people that historical memory which is so fatal to sound statesmanship, because it causes the problems of the present to be handled in the light of the sentiments of the past. A second motive was, however, definitely political. The war of 1870 had been waged by Prussia and the North German Confederation with the aid and alliance of the still separate and independent Powers of Southern Germany.
