	I feel that Germans weren't so much militaristic. They were so since the reforms of the sergeant-king - but only in Prussia. Much more militaristic were the Spaniards and it ended bad: with the army attacking the nation once and again with the pretext of "saving" it.
	NO GOD, NO MASTER!

	Germany is too much a mixed bag to generalise.

	Agreed. A History of Germany "in 25 words or less" is a non starter. One of the better surveys is Hajo Hoborn's History of Modern Germany since the Reformation. Princeton (3 volumes). I have seen all in the book stores, and it will be in good libraries. No Cliff's Notes though. Edited by pikeshot1600
