Summary

Welcome history friends to an incredible two-parter, where we examine in more detail the psychology behind the idea that Bismarck managed to provoke his enemies, chief among them Napoleon III of France, into declaring war against him to touch off the Franco-Prussian War. It is essentially a deep dive which I've always wanted to investigate in more detail, and forms part of what I like to call WDF THINKS, special episodes launched just for this remastered party of ours. It also gives us all a foretaste of what's to come for Patrons, as once I reach the $1,000 goal on Patreon, a miniseries on Bismarck's life and career will be available to my lovely Patrons, which is of course just lovely news! Thankssss for listening and I hope you all enjoy it!Remember also history friends, to make sure that you BEFIT!
