Bismarck sincerely regards the new German Empire…
1876 CE to 1887 CE
The chancellor holds that the country has to adjust to its new circumstances and that this will take decades.
For this reason, he seeks to persuade the other European states of Germany's desire to live in peace,
hoping thereby to secure Germany against attack.
He aims to arrange this security through a system of alliances.
Believing that France will remain Germany's enemy because of the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, an action he had opposed because of the enmity it would cause, he turns to other states.
