You ever think Otto von Bismarck was made fun of for looking like a Walrus?

CAN'T UNSEE
>I hate krauts who disagree with me but I hate other countries even more
this statement alone caused a breakthrough in German thought. Led by this "genius" rhetoric, the germans brought their inferiority complex to new heights.

What was his endgame with building a diplomatic system that only he knows how to operate?

being arrogant enough to believe that Prussian Militarism wouldn't cause a fuckton of problems,

It was all Kaiser Willy's Fault for being an actual fuckhead

I call it the Vetinari Gambit.

Staying in charge forever, probably
Explain Germany under Otto for a brainlet like me? He kept peace in Europe but still shat all over other countries and waged wars?
>>3379231
His genius was to do and get away with it, unlike Germany in WW 1 & 2

He just looks like an overweight old white dude with a moustache
>Napoleon III wants to buy Luxembourg
>asks Bismarck in case he sees it as an act of aggression
>Bismarck says it's okay
>France tries to buy Luxembourg
>Bismarck suddenly changes his mind and has a spastic attack saying he'll attack France if the deal goes ahead
What the fuck was his problem?

Talleyrand was much superior

he was going senile by the time willy 2 came into power. Bismark was good at unifying but nothing more, he waged the failed kulturkampf and created an autistic network that no one else could manage. Willy 2 might have been a retard, but he was absolutely right in dismissing Bismark.

He wanted to create a country for the germanic people and only them (it's why he didn't want anything to do with colonies or why he didn't give a fuck about getting territories where non-germans live as a majority) but he was also a bit of an autistic muhprussiaboo and wanted Prussia to be the sole dominating force in the German world.
Eventually he created a perfectly decent system that only he could operate. Had Frederick III,not smoked like a motherufcker he would've probably be able to do something with the fucking mess of a political system Bismarck created just so he could be the most powerful Kraut in the world and actually move the Kaiserreich to a more liberal path and get rid of the MUH MLITARY autism.
Unfortunately we got the turbo autist Willy who was all about MUH MILITARY autism.
