After spending a few years with this forum, I was wondering why in the earlier half of the last century, and somewhat even to the current time, germany and germans where viewed as utterly militaristic and agressive? A view reflected in statements of e.g. Churchill and Rosevelt and in the Versailles treaty. Where was the root of this? Earlier, during the 1800s, that view was not aparent..
I'm curious, as before ww1 it was not really reflected in the military spending of Germany as compared to the other great powers.
