In the 1860's....

So, the truth is that the Americans have a population that is more than 100 years old in high numbers that has never left the country.  A German Bismark who was never shot desires to kill them when they, As Americans, do not do what a human being would do and he is still engineering conflict.  They need a World Book Fact Book minute on the news to massage the likelihood of isolation and isolationism  instead of blowing up historical locations in London or Afghanistan every day.

In the 1860s, he engineered a series of wars that unified the German states, significantly and deliberately excluding Austria, into a powerful German Empire under Prussian leadership. With that accomplished by 1871, he skillfully used balance of power diplomacy to maintain Germany's position in a Europe which, despite many disputes and war scares, remained at peace. For historian Eric Hobsbawm, it was Bismarck who "remained undisputed world champion at the game of multilateral diplomatic chess for almost twenty years after 1871, [and] devoted himself exclusively, and successfully, to maintaining peace between the powers."[2
