It is not only that Germany has been defeated in the war, Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany was defeated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you look back at the history of the twentieth century, Germany alone had practically destroyed Russia several times.
We didn't defeat the Nazis by becoming Nazis.
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
It is not in the interest of the German people or in the interest of world peace that Germany should become a pawn or a partner in a military struggle for power between the East and the West.
Historians still often see the end of the war as meaning nothing more for Germany than lost territories, lost participation in colonization, and lost assets for the state and individuals. They frequently overlook the most serious loss that Germany suffered.
German militarism and Nazism have devastated twice in our generation the lands of German neighbors.
The German decision to fight is implacable. Even if they were given more than they ask, they would attack just the same, because they are possessed by the demon of destruction.
Consider well this fact: As long as the German people does not arise and use force directed by its own will, the assassination of the people will continue.
I think this could be our best victory over Germany since the war.
That Germany was so immensely strong and Austria so dependent upon German strength that the word and will of Germany would at the critical moment be decisive with Austria.
