Imperial German government opposed liberty in war talk
Dr Talcott Williams argues the United States fights the imperial German government not Germany. He traces power to twenty three rulers who control the Bundesrath and Kaiser, linking arms deals, Krupp, and colonial ventures to wartime aggression. He cites Armenian massacres, Balkan wars, and threats to U S interests as proof of a centralized monarchic power endangering freedom.
