Von Treitschke

• All over the globe today we see the peoples of
  Europe creating a mighty aristocracy of the white
  races. Those who take no share in this great
  rivalry will play a pitiable part in time to
  come. The colonizing impulse has become a vital
  question for a great nation.We Germany must,
  and will, take our share in the domination of the
  world by white races.
