Following German unification - and particularly after Wilhelm II dismissed Bismark - the drive for colonies began in earnest. Despite gaining some respectable pieces of real estate in Africa, along with some islands in the Pacific and an outpost in China, there was still a feeling in some quarters that this was insufficient. Wilhelm II was greatly jealous of the British Empire for her wealth, the size of her colonies and dominions, and her world wide power and influence. Certainly all readers are aware of what this led to. So, my challenge to you, is.......get Germany a larger share of the white man's burden!
