<<I would suggest you learn a bit, else your only purpose on this board will be as a punching bag.>>

Now you are showing even more ignorance. As for the Napoleon what else was his motivations to go to wars if not the PRIDE? National and personal pride, France should rule over every country in Europe and beyond. Hitler, and now maybe bush sending biggest ever naval armada to striking distance of major China are fitting into the same category. Pride is listed as #1 reason for the dominance wars to start and you are very proud American instead of normal human being.

As for the Franco-Prussian war:

<<The immediate cause of the war was the French opposition to the candidacy of the German prince Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen for the Spanish throne, which had been vacant since the revolution of September 1868. Asked by the French to guarantee for Leopold's permanent withdrawal also in the future, King William of Prussia declared the matter outside his control. His telegram (the Ems Dispatch) reporting this interview with the French ambassador was edited by chancellor Bismarck of Prussia in such a way as to provoke French indignation. France officially declared war on July 19, 1870.>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War

ONE telegram with only twisted words used as the weapons from Bismarck brain stirred enough French PRIDE to declare the war, which very proud Bismarck wanted very much for his own reason should I have to call PRIDE? Sure some will call he wanted unification of Germany, Stalin didn't want anything else but unification of the world or at least as much as he could put under his dominance. He was a proud citizen of the Soviet Union of Georgian origin. I assume bush family and yours is not of native American origin too.

Learn something about the life instead of being PROUD IGNORANT.
