       [quote]...Du Bois saw himself as a “future black Bismarck,” set
       to unite and liberate his race.29 Certainly, Du Bois’
       eye-opening experience in Germany left him uniquely positioned
       to fight US racist institutions and follow the example of
       Bismarck who, in his own words, “made a nation out of a mass of
       bickering peoples,” suggesting a way for blacks and whites to
       coexist.30[/quote]

       It was the inferior democratic masses who forced Bismarck to
       allow German colonialism
       [quote]Otto von Bismarck, then Chancellor of the German Reich,
       initially rejected colonial acquisitions, but the public and the
       elite demanded them, so he allowed colonization in 1884.[/quote]

       Similarity between Bismarck and Hitler
       [quote]There were some similarities between the two brilliant
       statesmen. Both Bismarck and Hitler were against popular forms
       of governments such as democracy. Bismarck and Hitler both had
       similar disdain for socialism, though Hitler was much more
       tyrannical. Bismarck simply framed the socialists for an
       assassination attempt on the German emperor while Hitler burned
       down the Reichstag building to further his anti-socialist
       propaganda. However, Hitler believed in transforming the world
       into a Nazi Earth while Bismarck believed that Germany should
       gain whatever land it deserves.[/quote]

       How Western Civilization view Bismarck
       [quote]...The Prussian-German state in the Bismarckian and Nazi
       periods created a social order that served the interests of
       modern industrial capitalism, yet, at the same time, bolstered
       the social and political status of the old aristocratic military
       classes and cultivated the anti-Enlightenment notion of an
       organic nation rooted in blood and soil....[/quote]
