Geopolitics knows no bounds

  World politics is not driven by ideology. It is driven by power. Despite woodrow wilson's claim that world war one was a war between democracy and autocracy. Prussia did have universal suffrage for everyone but women, just like the united states. In america, women and non whites still didnt have political rights.

   All the Kaiser did during first world war was to defend its Austrian ally who had their prince assassinated by Serbian secessionists (who are currently Chinese allies). If this had happened again today. China would support Serbia not because its ok to go around shooting royals, but because the two have expressed international camaraderie.
