How comes Germany was much more peaceful than other European powers?

Germany didn't became strong enough to really be a force in the world until Bismark, and then Wilhelm almost immediately ruined everything that Otto had worked so hard to build. Whenever I think about it, I'm am thankful that Bismark died before WW1, so that he was spared the horror of seeing everything unravel.

We simply weren't as united and powerful as France, the U.K. or Austria.
"I hate krauts who disagree with me but I hate other countries even more."
t. Otto Von Bismark
This statement alone caused a breakthrough in German thought. Led by this "genius" rhetoric, the Germans brought their inferiority complex to new heights. They were now united as one. The Germans were all finally living in one country. Undivided in their quest for relevance, they decided to call their country: The German "Empire"
Desperate to prove themselves relevant to the whole world, the Germans frantically searched for a reason to wage a war they could win. The death of some irrelevant prince in some backwater country with a vague connection to the German "emperor" Was all they needed to start a war.
With inflated egos, they decided to declare war against the whole world. The Germans fought this war quite seriously, exterminating anyone in their path and using all sorts of underhanded tricks. They were dead-set on world domination.
But the rest of the world wasn't taking it so seriously. They could have easily exterminated the Germans, had they stooped half as low as them. But, as humanists, they didn't want to deprive future generations from observing one of nature's most hilarious mistakes. Trenches were built along a general area. Within, all the territory was declared a German reservation. Where Germans could upkeep their unique customs and "culture".
