It should be the other way around. Otherwise, you will consume your mind with hate. And if one forgets why, one will repeat the same attitudes, and keep living in resentment for the rest of one's days.

Aveva Ragione Guglielmo I e torto il buon vecchio Bismark. La Prussia doveva estendersi e diventare una grande potenza, ma senza creare un impero tedesco. La Prussia con le sue grandi tradizioni, militari e civili ha cessato di esistere mezz'ora dopo la dichiarazione del Reich. All'inizio sembrò un buon affare ma poi...

All his accomplishments and his grave simply reads, "A loyal servant of German Emperor Wilhelm I" .

Because he knew that Wilhelm's grandson would destroy everything he accomplished.

[@thanhhoangnguyen4754]

@@legiran9261 To be honest i felt for Wilhelm I and his conviction of not wanting to be Emperor of Germany. Like he said he was a soilder all his life. He even never wanted to be king of Prussia too. He inherited the crown because his brother pass away.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

@@thanhhoangnguyen4754 I think they’re referring to Kaiser Wilhelm II, the grandson who fired Bismarck and basically disregarded all of his sound advice. Now granted Wilhelm II knew how easily Bismarck manipulated his father and grandfather but in breaking away he made Russia an enemy and started a meaningless relationship with Austria-Hungary. In doing so securing at least the interior lines but not stopping a war on two fronts.

[@thanhhoangnguyen4754]

@@lufsolitaire5351 Yeah i know about that but i was feeling for Wilhelm I he never wanted to be Emperor of Germany. His title King Of Prussia is more than enough for him and he is not meant to rule. He have to accept it after his brother passed always passing the Prussia crown to him. And now Bismarck try to make him remove that crown and wear the Kaiser crown. Also to be honest with you here with Germany capability German army can hold two fronts. But the point of it is the dragging Britian into it. Of all the worst thing that can happen is to drag Britain into it. Britain is the main supply chain of the Entente. If Britain remain neutral Germany would able to push through or at least won't be blocked by France Navy considering French navy is not ready to match German high sea fleet ( which Kaiser Wilhelm II spent a tons of money into it)

[@lufsolitaire5351]

@@thanhhoangnguyen4754 The British would never have yielded to German hegemony on the continent and would of gotten involved regardless of Belgium. You have to think long-term; yes Germany could hold two fronts but wouldn't have won a war of attrition. In both world wars with attention to the first, they were the most advanced nation but lacked fuel and food sources(Coal rich in the Rhineland, Potsdam, and Frankfurt. Iron rich in Westphalia, however the Breadbaskets of Bavaria, Saxony, and parts of the west could not sustain their population of 65 million). This is why the german method has always been to try and steamroll an opponents in a few weeks or months. The Germans were smart to instead invest in their U-boat fleet as they knew they couldn't match the British and French surface fleets. Kaiser Wilhelm I definitely never wanted to be Kaiser of all of Germany; he was a soldier first and foremost but like Bismarck said they make mediocre to poor politicians. He merely wanted to be left to the business of domestic ventures, he had little interest in creating an empire or overseas colonialism which is why you see him fight Bismarck on every little thing.

Bismarck and Moltke seemed practically joined at the hip, and yet when Moltke died, Bismarck didn't bother to attend the funeral.

[@mat7083]

His absence is political

[@anmolrattansey7309]

Curd Jurgens was a wonderful and passionate actor, a man who resisted the inhumanity of the nazis and still willingly supported righteousness even though he was sent to a concentration camp.

[@Albukhshi]

The way Bismarck basically gives instructions to the King makes me think of when Bela Legosi goes "pull the string!"

[@dkupke]

The world needs a man like Bismarck in the Middle East today

[@dkupke]

+Jonathan Williams Someone who is capable of building consensus and bringing different social and political entities together into a single nation-sort of like what the Kurds could use right now? Someone who isn't afraid of wars, but knows enough to only get involved in wars he has an actual chance of winning-unlike the Arab states in 1949, or Iraq in 1980? Someone who knows when enough is enough when its time to stop-unlike Israel in 1967? And someone who knows there is a time to fight, and a time to keep the peace? Yeah, I'd say the Middle East could badly use someone like Bismarck.

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

+Daniel Ryan Yeah but the Franco-Prussian War was disastrous for Germany. It consolidated all of Germany's enemies together. France was driven into the arms of Russia.

[@dkupke]

+TheLoyalOfficer Not exactly. After the Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck ensured peace in Europe for 20 years. He negotiated a very complex system of alliances and treaties that basically made sure no one country could attack another without all the other's ganging up on them-and all the while keeping France isolated. I have a feeling that is pretty much what's going to be needed to untangle the situation in the Mideast today.

[@stevenbucholz3299]

Did you mean "Bismarck?" Leaving out the "c" is a common mistake.

[@pyromania1018]

Bismarck *was* very smart, but for all his plans, he forgot to consider how to keep the system he created going in case something happened to him. Even if he wasn't dismissed, he wasn't immortal, so he should have prepared a contingency plan in the event of his mortality catching up with him. But he didn't. And many of the Kaiser's flaws were engineered into him *by* Bismarck, so he's partially to blame for a lot of Wilhelm's actions and mistakes.

[@HoangNguyen-rw6wf]

For me personally was his ideal of alliance with Austria and Russia. He know perfectly well that it can never be last long. Especially when the matter involve with the Balkan.

[@delavalmilker]

If Bismarck came back to life today, I wonder what he would think of modern-day Europe? I think for one thing, he would be proud of Germany being the leading economic power. But he would be appalled at the flood of Islamic "immigrants", and give Merkel a good dressing-down about what she was doing to "his" Germany. He would nod knowingly at being told of the wimpiness of modern-day Britain and France. I wonder what advice he would have on dealing with Russia and Putin? P.S. Kurt Jurgens is PERFECT in the role.

[@neventomicic330]

Nope.

[@allencaseyseverinogumiran8432]

There was a widespread fascination of Islam in aristocratic circles throughout Europe, and there was more bad blood amongst the secular ideologies than religion.

[@hueyfreeman1983]

You thinking that Bismark would have had a problem with Muslims in Europe just shows how uneducated you are. Before Americans and Zionists started their crusades against the Islamic world most Europeans (especially the educated ones) admired Islam

[@pyromania1018]

He probably would go to Wilhelm II's grave and spit on it, shouting "I WARNED YOU!" before expressing open shock that the nation he forged put its faith and trust in a Catholic Austrian peasant.

[@trenttrip6205]

I think he’d be a bit more distracted by the state of Europe a few decades after he died than today

Why didnt they show Albrecht Von Roon

[@LoganSewell83]

Herr von Roon gets no credit. Bismarck and to a lesser extent Moltke get all the glory. Roon may have been an uncharismatic man in real life. Bismarck was the briliant mastermind of 19th century international politics while Moltke was a great strategist and logistics expert. I know little of Roon except for the fact that he compliments both mens' features.

[@The-Rose-and-the-Cross]

There's an 'Albrecht' in the credits, but I'm not sure if that's supposed to be Roon. He's not given a substantial role anyway.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

Roon was the man who seconded WIlhelm I's desire to march on Vienna and was sitting right of Bismarck.

[@adamcheklat7387]

What is it with Bismarck and liberalism?

[@mangomangay7747]

Liberalism is an antecedent to the collapse of empires

[@VersusARCH]

Bismarck was certain in his abilities and motifs, but not of others, who would all have influence in a liberal system. Later he also recognized a golden opportunity to unify Germany under Prussia and knew that such a feat required firm, decisive and quick-reacting leadership that only a dictatorial-like powers can provide. Liberalism requires a broad consensus among people many of whom do not have either the mental capacity, foresight, or bravery to agree with a radical, game changing and risky plan required to achieve unification.

[@lufsolitaire5351]

While he despised it as the musings of over-idealistic romantics, it was still a necessary evil for them to maintain power and give off the illusion of a liberal republic. Ironically German citizens under the Kaiserreich enjoyed a lot more freedoms, rights, and social safety nets than British, French, and even American citizens at the time. There was some socialism in their healthcare system and allowing promising young Germans subsidized college.
