Excerpt from The Geography of the World War and the Peace Treaties Which is second in area and population? Which is third in each? Trace the boundary of Prussia. Locate Bavaria and Saxony. Note that three of the states are only cities. Name and locate each of these. Our largest state is Texas, which is more than two hundred times as large as Rhode Island, our smallest. Our largest state in population is New York, which contains more than one hundred times as many people as Nevada, our smallest state in population. Yet we have no state that is nearly equal to all the others either in area or population in fact, each is a very small part of the Whole. From the map it is plain why people have so often named Prussia when speaking of Ger many. Perhaps the map suggests to you, too, that it is dangerous for a nation to have one state so much larger than all the others together. In the United States there is no such danger. But if Prussia's importance and power corresponded to its size, it could control the other twenty-four states and have its own way. If it happened to be governed by selfish men, all the other states would have to suffer; and even if it were well gov erned, the other states would have too little of self-government. It is generally believed that these dangers were not avoided indeed, that Prussia's bad leadership was the princi pal cause of the World War.
