By 1900, nearly everyone agreed that there was something special about the Germans. Their philosophy was more profound — to a fault. So was their music. Their scientists and engineers were clearly the best. Their soldiers were unmatched.
The Pridominance of Germany in the disciplines the author mentions began to erode with the first worldwar. Documented by the infamous saying of the German-American psychlogist Hugo Muensterberg in defending the first worldwar – what a HYBRIS! – as „The Spritual Triumph of Germany“.
