80. Germany reminds us of many things which we should always remember. Behind the First World War, let us remember, there had been German grievances that were met with a bad settlement. Behind the Second World War, let us also remember, there was the German question suffering again from a bad settlement. I am not here to justify war, but we should not fail to remember the causes, the roots and the reasons „ for war. 81. The driving forces behind the two world wars are to be found in the post-war settlement of the German problems. The grains of war have been ingrained, so to speak, by the policies of the allied Powers.
