IrishGunner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Interesting article regarding a 1913 German General Staff estimate that "Sees Panama Canal as Anti-European" If Germany truly had ideas of imperialist expansion and started WWI to feed those ideas like some historians...Fischer comes to mind...then this estimate should have caused Germany considerable concern, especially regarding Point #6 of the estimate. Germany was already behind in the "colony game" and certainly didn't need another upstart competitor joining the game. But was Germany really all that concerned? On the other hand, Point #3 must been the result of a very clairvoyant analyst on the General Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
