Donnerwetter! Its rock. I thought it was going to be paper.
EDITORS COMMENTS
With these words, the German chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, is depicted in this satirical cartoon from 1911, as he kicks the Entente Cordiale rock in a fit of frustration. The Entente Cordiale, signed in 1904 between France and the United Kingdom, was a diplomatic agreement aimed at improving relations between the two European powers and reducing tensions in Europe. However, Germany, feeling isolated and threatened by the alliance, saw it as a hostile act. The cartoon, published in the Irish newspaper "Ravenhill Gazette and Weekly News," reflects the growing tension between Germany and the Entente Powers in the early 1910s. The image of Bethmann Hollweg kicking the rock is a symbol of Germany's growing frustration and determination to assert its position in Europe. The caption adds to the humor of the situation, with the chancellor expressing his surprise at the solidity of the rock, which he had expected to be "paper." This cartoon is a reminder of the complex diplomatic landscape of Europe in the years leading up to World War I. It highlights the tensions and misunderstandings that existed between the major European powers and the potential consequences of their actions. The image of Bethmann Hollweg kicking the Entente Cordiale rock is a powerful symbol of the growing divide between Germany and the Entente Powers and the escalating tensions that would eventually lead to war. The cartoon also reflects the role of the media in shaping public opinion and understanding of international events. It provides a glimpse into the way that political satire was used to comment on and critique the actions of political leaders and the diplomatic developments of the time. Overall, this image is a fascinating window into the European political landscape of the early 1910s and the complex web of alliances and tensions that would shape the course of history.
