Bernhardi: Germany and the Next War

Bernhardi argues that “war is a biological necessity of the first importance.”


War the Key to Healthy Development of Nations


Struggle

The struggle for existence is the basis of all healthy development


Struggle is a universal law of nature


War Leads to the Success of Growing Nations

Strong, healthy, flourishing nations increase in numbers


Conquest becomes the law of necessity to support the rising numbers of successful nations


The Right of Conquest

The right of conquest is universally acknowledged


The instinct of self preservation leads inevitably to war


The knowledge that war depends on biological laws leads to the conclusion that every attempt to exclude it from international relations must be untenable
