Bismarck unified us, gave us many great reforms and refused the idea of colonies. He was more of a father to Germany than any Kaiser had been

[@devolthor7611]

In the beginning, he refused colonies. But then, from 1878 till 1884 he changed his opinion (maybe because of corruption or something, because he did it for companies) and started the 3rd biggest colonial empire of that time.

[@sarmin8008]

@@devolthor7611 From what I read, it was mostly the colonial associations that pressured Bismarck, pushing him to a pragmatic approach to eventually colonize. I doubt he ever changed his mind personally on how much of a good idea colonies were, though I could be wrong

Both were immensely popular. In the end, Helmut Schmidt (the first one) only lost to Helmut Kohl because his own coalition partner (the Libertarian FDP) betrayed him. These days though nearly all Germans view Helmut Schmidt as one of, if not the best chancellor in German history and see Kohl as an average guy. Schmidt was very charming, charismatic, quick to react and always knew a solution. Here‘s a nice clip showing his more charming side: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml6cZ3h7mLlseLM

[@scanida5070]

Depends on how you see it. Throughout his entire political career Bismarck was an absolute genius. But when you look at his career as chancellor of the German Empire, you‘ll soon notice that he wasn‘t the best in his later years. Some examples: - He banned the immensely popular SPD only to unban sometime later after immense protests. - He unnecessarily escalated the so called „Kulturkampf“ between Catholics and Protestants. - He was very sceptical of railways and tried to block the construction of railways into Berlin In the late 1870s, his government was referred to as “Kanzlerdiktatur” (Chancellor dictatorship) and many called for him to step back. Many Germans think that he wasn’t the best chancellor but that it either was Helmut Schmidt or Willy Brandt. Both worked for European peace (the latter winning the Nobel Peace Prize in the process) and ensured West-Germany’s position as a European power. The popularity of these two politicians is something people like Trump, Biden, Bolsonaro, Orban, Merkel, Putin, Xi Jingping, Macron or any major politician nowadays can only dream of. Here’s a nice clip showing Schmidt’s charisma: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml6cZ3h7mLlseLM Willy Brandt‘s infamous kneefall in Warsaw, the turning point in how the world viewed Germany: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavUdYZ3brN9g5Y

3:07 Helmut Schmidt (HS): ("We are called upon to assist the state authorities wherever possible for the individual"). 1945, Germany lies in ruins. The nation needs young, energetic people to build a democratic state. One of them is someone who will shape this republic politically like no other: Helmut Schmidt. (HS: "I actually marched to the SPD almost straight from the prisoner-of-war camp"). 1962, a flood of the century inundates Hamburg. Interior Senator Helmut Schmidt does not hesitate for a second to take crisis management into his own hands (HS: "I thought it could cost us up to 10,000 deaths"). The brilliant crisis manager feels committed to the national interest and wants to help shape the recovery of the Federal Republic - first as Minister of Defense, then as Minister of Finance. After Willy Brandt's resignation, Schmidt takes the helm in Bonn and becomes the highly respected Chancellor of the Federal Republic. In economically and socially difficult times, he succeeds in giving the Germans new orientation, new values and new leadership. With his uncompromising, upright stance, he opposes those who fight the state (HS television address: "Terrorism has no chance in the long term!"). When employer president Hans-Martin Schleyer is kidnapped and a Lufthansa plane is hijacked, Schmidt decides after careful consideration: "The LEGAL STATE CANNOT BE OVERTHROWN!" (HS: "In favor of the people who would otherwise have become victims of the next crime and the one after that.") With its policy of reconciliation and its tireless commitment to peace and justice, Germany achieves a prominent role in the international community (HS: "It was in the interests of my people that we did not accept this SS-20 armament without further ado"). (Henry Kissinger, USA: "Helmut Schmidt was the first chancellor to position Germany on global issues"). (Giscard de Estaigne, France: "The first time that a German statesman was treated as one of the four greats of the world"). After the end of the social-liberal coalition, Helmut Schmidt withdraws from day-to-day politics - but the people remain loyal to him. (HS: "I wasn't interested in power, I was interested in public recognition"). As co-editor of the weekly newspaper "DIE ZEIT" and successful author, he remains the political and moral conscience of the nation. With his beloved wife "Loki", he is even on the bestseller lists at the same time - but in October 2010, after 68 years of marriage, he sadly has to say goodbye to his childhood sweetheart. (HS: "I am quite happy that my wife and I have both grown older than Konrad Adenauer"). Although he no longer held political office after 1986, he went down in world history as Germany's most popular politician - a statesman for the rest of his life. A role model for young and old. Germany owes him a great deal. In memory of former Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt (1918-2015). Helmut Schmidt (HS): (,,Wir sind aufgefordert, den staatlichen Organen beizustehen, wo immer das dem Einzelnen mögöich ist"). 1945, Deutschland liegt in Trümmern. Die Nation braucht junge, tatkräftige Menschen, um einen demokratischen Staat aufzubauen. Einer von ihnen ist einer, der diese Republik politisch prägen wird wie kein anderer: Helmut Schmidt. (HS: "Ich bin eigentlich fast direkt aus dem Kriegsgefangenenlager zur SPD marschiert"). 1962, eine Jahrhundertflut überschwemmt Hamburg. Innensenator Helmut Schmidt zögert keine Sekunde, das Krisenmanagement selbst in die Hand zu nehmen (HS: "Ich dachte, das kann uns bis zu 10.000 Tote kosten"). Der brillante Krisenmanager fühlt sich dem nationalen Interesse verpflichtet und will die Gesundung der Bundesrepublik mitgestalten - erst als Verteidigungs-, dann als Finanzminister. Nach dem Rücktritt Willy Brandts übernimmt Schmidt das Ruder in Bonn und wird zum hoch angesehenen Bundeskanzler der Bundesrepublik. In wirtschaftlich und gesellschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten gelingt es ihm, den Deutschen neue Orientierung, neue Werte und neue Führung zu geben. Mit seiner kompromisslosen, aufrechten Haltung stellt er sich gegen diejenigen, die den Staat bekämpfen (HS-Fernsehansprache: "Der Terrorismus hat auf Dauer keine Chance!"). Als Arbeitgeberpräsident Hans-Martin Schleyer entführt und eine Lufthansa-Maschine gekapert wird, entscheidet Schmidt nach reiflicher Überlegung: "Der RECHTSSTAAT IST NICHT UMZUSTÜRZEN!" (HS: "Zugunsten der Menschen, die sonst Opfer des nächsten und übernächsten Verbrechens geworden wären.") Mit seiner Politik der Versöhnung und seinem unermüdlichen Einsatz für Frieden und Gerechtigkeit erlangt Deutschland eine herausragende Rolle in der internationalen Gemeinschaft (HS: "Es war im Interesse meines Volkes, dass wir diese SS-20-Rüstung nicht ohne weiteres akzeptiert haben"). (Henry Kissinger, USA: "Helmut Schmidt war der erste Kanzler, der Deutschland in globalen Fragen positionierte"). (Giscard de Estaigne, Frankreich: "Das erste Mal, dass ein deutscher Staatsmann als einer der vier Großen der Welt behandelt wurde"). Nach dem Ende der sozial-liberalen Koalition zieht sich Helmut Schmidt aus der Tagespolitik zurück - aber die Menschen bleiben ihm treu. (HS: "Mir ging es nicht um Macht, mir ging es um öffentliche Anerkennung"). Als Mitherausgeber der Wochenzeitung "DIE ZEIT" und Erfolgsautor bleibt er das politische und moralische Gewissen der Nation. Mit seiner geliebten Frau "Loki" steht er sogar gleichzeitig auf den Bestsellerlisten - doch im Oktober 2010 muss er sich nach 68 Ehejahren leider von seiner Jugendliebe verabschieden. (HS: "Ich bin ganz froh, dass meine Frau und ich beide älter geworden sind als Konrad Adenauer"). Obwohl er nach 1986 keine politischen Ämter mehr bekleidete, ging er als Deutschlands populärster Politiker in die Weltgeschichte ein - ein Staatsmann für den Rest seines Lebens. Ein Vorbild für Jung und Alt. Deutschland hat ihm viel zu verdanken. Zum Gedenken an Altbundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt (1918-2015).
