Cobwebs Of Ignoranca

The aim of Germany's aggressive war, said Mr. Eden, was to make her infinitely the most powerful nation in the world and, to enable her, by the ruthless use of that power, to compel Europe to submit to German rule and the world to yled to German authority. The Alles were Oghting to preserve the status quo, but to preserve the possibility of progress.
