Freidrich Fabri’s “Does Germany Need Colonies?” by Mr. Tress Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2014

But should not the German nation who is fundamentally so very capable, so seaworthy, so industrially and commercially minded ... successfully pave the way for this new course? ... It would be wise if we Germans would learn about colonial skills from our Anglo-Saxon cousins and would begin - in a friendly competition - to strive after them. When the German Reich centuries ago was the peak of the states in Europe, it was the Number One trade and sea power. Should the New German Reich wish to prove and maintain its newly won position of power for a long time, it will have to take up the same culture-mission and delay no longer to acknowledge its colonial task anew.
