520			_a"What Germany Thinks; Or, The War as Germans See It" by Thomas F. A. Smith is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book explores the German perspective on the causes and implications of the war, reflecting a myriad of opinions within Germany regarding responsibility for the conflict and the unfolding events. Smith's analysis delves into the national psyche and public sentiment leading up to the war, providing insights from various segments of German society. The opening of the book establishes a complex backdrop for understanding the German viewpoint on World War I. It details the widespread belief in Germany that the nation did not blindly enter the war but rather did so with an awareness of the circumstances and consequences. Further, the narrative discusses differing political opinions regarding the origins of the conflict, with Germans attributing various degrees of blame to other nations while largely absolving their own actions. Smith introduces accounts from German newspapers of the time, illustrating both patriotic fervor and anti-war sentiments, such as protests by the Social Democrats against military aggression, thus setting the stage for a deeper exploration of how public opinion shaped the war's trajectory and Germany's role in it.
