The Path to War – Imperialism and Systems of Alliances
After the founding of the Reich in 1871, Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck employs a clever system in his attempts to balance the European nations and prevent the great powers from forming alliances against the German Reich. In 1890, he must ultimately go. Considering Bismarck’s policy of alliances obsolete, Kaiser Wilhelm II steers a new foreign policy course: World power politics. He wants to get in on the imperial race for colonies, power and influence. "World power or destruction ", is the motto. The armaments factories are in full swing, not only in the German Reich. All the major powers are arming aggressively. War is becoming ever more likely.
