This is about as concise a summation of Bismarck that I've ever read but I think still suffers from the Article 231, German Guilt clause.

Nothing compelled the Euorpean Powers to war in 1914 that any or all could not have circumvented had they wanted to. The rush to colors in August everywhere betrays that none of them did. France had wanted a rematch since their defeat in 1870. England's continental detante depended upon French hegemony. Italy wanted it's imperial place in the sun since the Risorgamento. Spain, however, remained neutral as it had nothing to gain which in fact, none of the powers did, as things turned out.

The Kaiser was actually quite the Anglo-phile and so was Adolf Hitler well into WW2. TheFashoda and Panther Incidents demonstrated tensions but that they could also be worked out and Srajevo wasn't all that much more difficfult as it was, essentially, an Imperial Austrian domestic affair that needn't necessarily have invovled anyone and had Queen Victoria still been alive, likely enough, would not have.

Bismarck's revolution was essentially conservative and not all that Disreali made it out to be any more than Churchill, decades later. Louis Napoleon was also regarded as revolutionary but in fact, this was just the campaign facade for man who understood exactly how and how much things had changed since his great uncle.

Both Napoleon III and Bismarck were conservative to the point of being radically presicient of things to come.

The North German Confederation had always acted indpendantly from the Habsberg Empire while France's days of continental hegemoney had ended with the July Monarchy.

They are here in the U.S. (the Germans as a problem) too:

The incubation processes for White ideology have been warped due to post-WWII suppression of such conceptualizing, mainly by the Jewish weaponized grievance. That harpy would scare the daylights and the living crap out of any mainstream egghead that would make even a peep about propping up Whites as Whites. Therefore the prep work for such an undertaking occurred mostly on the intellectual fringe, among the crudes.

From hence, at the turning point of the 2016 presidential election that brought out the powerful MAGA movement and to the White House Donald. J. Trump, a crooked identitarian entity emerged branding itself “Alt-Right.” That made things only worse for Euroamericans as the deeply expected if still subliminal process had been prematurely capped by a stunted “elite,” and consequently botched by the thick Wotanic – per Carl Jung take – element underlying it. Wotanic, because the weltanschauung of the Alt-Right had gushed out of Euroamerica's Germanic id in the big part: a vast dormant collective energy that seemed only to be waiting there to be called upon.
