Otto von Bismarck

[loyalyolayal]

I don't where to put this topic. He's like a Warberry topic, so I'll just post his quotes.

On America:

The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed... Therefore they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union.

God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America.

The Americans are a very lucky people. They're bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors, and to the east and west by fish.

The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically corrupt civilization.

There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America.

On Russia:

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

Never fight with Russian. On your every stratagem they answer unpredictable stupidity.

Do not expect that once taking advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russian has always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on an agreement signed by you, you are supposed to justify. They are not worth the paper it is written. Therefore, with the Russian is to play fair, or do not play.

Etc:

What we learn from History is that no one learns from History

Nostradamus shit:

One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans (1888).

This guy was bawse AF.

Idk if he was a benevolent, pragmatist like what they're trying to portray, but his quotes were topnotch.

Sounds like a smart dude. What did he think about tipping?

Tipping is like sausages, it is better not to see them being made. Unless of course you like sausages.

What makes you say that?

Spoiler: Ottobahn

No civilization other than that which is Christian, is worth seeking or possessing.

How come he did not have his own Holocaust? He was in same position as Hitler. And probably better military strategist. I am not saying he should have but just because . . . . .

Bismarck was a politician not a madman. He set limited, achievable goals. He wanted Europe at peace with Germany as it's dominant force. He achieved that. Murdering thousands or millions of people out of insane hatred wouldn't have made sense to him. He would have considered it stupid, immoral/unchristian. Your quotes are fascinating and I had no idea he said that stuff, btw

Great thread!

Otto von Bismarck was brilliant and is one of the architects of the modern world. Bismarck essentially created Germany, and with it, the well studied issue in IR political science of the German Problem - a unified German, due to it's size, geography and strength of its industry will always come to dominate Europe.

The systems that von Bismarck created or was instrumental in codifying spread throughout the world. The education and legal systems of much of the world and particularly East Asia are based on Bismarck's ideals. If Germany had stuck with the plans for the future as Bismarck had outlined, there would never have been a WWI (as it happened), thus no WWII and Hitler.

Bismarck is the most influential German in history, right under Hitler.

I would put Falco slightly ahead of Hitler. Both are Austrians, but still.
