What does Source C tell us about German attitudes before the First
World War?
Now we know where our enemy stands.
Like a flash of lightening in the night these events have shown the
German people where its enemy is... When the hour of
decision comes we are prepared for sacrifices, both of blood and of
treasure.
From a speech made by the Kaiser, November
1911
How
reliable is Source D for an historian who wants to know about
German attitudes in 1913?
Use Source D and your own knowledge to explain your answer.
Germany is deliberately preparing to
destroy the British Empire. We are all to be drilled and
schooled and uniformed by German officials. Britain alone
stands in the way of Germany's path to world power and domination.

Daily Mail newspaper, 1909
