The above map shows how Germany's progress thus far the "backbone" of Europe. With the territory gained in Southeastern Europe as a basis, a Prussian scheme for world conquest is seen in the Kaiser's "peace" offer, in that a truce w yuld enable him to con- aolidate his southern annexations into a greater Prussian empire from which to operate and with which to fight the world. Any renunciation of annexation east or west of Germany, therefore, must be con- strued as a "blind" to cover the extension of Prussianism toward the Mediterranean, with a view toward dominating a strip through Europe from the South to the Baltic.
