Read this book.
Take a look especially at his remarks in the last full paragraph:
"...In foreign policy their actions almost destroyed western civilization, or at least the European center of it...."
Most Americans, and many others, especially the British who are among the most really at fault and the most knowledgeable, of course blame Germany, both Wilhelmine, and later Hitlerite, Germany for this.
One has to take a closer look, however, behind the diplomatic scenes, to see what had really been going on among the great powers, and among powerful elites, through the later 19th Century, and so forth.
