Excerpt from The American Review of Reviews, Vol. 57: January 1918 While Germany's commerce has been cut oil from the seas, while her colonies have all been lost, while her trade with small neutral neighbors has been reduced through the embargo poli cies of the United States and Great Britain, the one apparently sound and enduring strue ture erected by recent German political and military efforts has been the great Mittel europa union for power and for commerce, extending from the Belgian coast to the con fines of Persia. But even this imposing con federation has no sound basis. If its members are to cohere loyally under Prussian hege mony, they will have to face the alternative of an entire external world united against them. This external world will control all the seas. Every country would be compelled to choose its associations. Neutrality would inevitably fade away. Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, would in due time have to take their stand with the free countries, or look inland to an exclusive association with Germany, becoming - like Belgium vassals of Prussia. Heretofore they have been strictly maritime countries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
