France had other issues and concerns than REVENGE ON GERMANY NO MATTER WHAT - thus my argument with this idea that "every day France dreamed of getting Alsace-Lorraine back".
You are ignoring the fact that for the French military (and even average Frenchmen), getting back Alsace and Lorraine was vital. The precursor to any possible real peace with Germany would involve French gaining Alsace and Lorraine back from Germany, preferably after a war in which the French beat the Germans. France would never reconcile itself to the loss of Alsace and Lorraine. That they did not attempt to recover it was because they were not devoid of commonsense. France between 1870 and 1914 could not seize Alsace and Lorraine on its own. But they kept looking for a chance to get it back, and real peace with Germany could only come after that.
You asked, and I quote, "Can you give me one example of a militarist state . . . ?"
You've been given examples. And you keep trying to say that they don't count.
Fine. What's your definition of "militarist state" so that we don't have to keep listing examples and seeing you say "Well that doesn't actually count."?
And I don't see what the Saverne affair has to do with whether or not Prussia would be capable of losing a war without going into psycho mode.
You already have been given it, right in the post you quoted. A government where the army gets a disproportionate amount of resources given the total resources of the state. A government where the military gets a de facto veto over the actions of other wings of the government. Russia is not such a case.
