"Germany and the Next War" was written by Friedrich Von Bernhardi, a Prussian soldier and military theorist. The book outlines Bernhardi's views on why conflict is necessary for and unavoidable in order for Germany to continue to aspire to global supremacy. In the book, Bernhardi argues that conflict is a necessary and natural part of human evolution and that Germany has to struggle to keep her place in the international arena. In addition, he argues that Germany must constantly improve its military technology and tactics since it depends on them for its continued success. Military and political elites studied and discussed Bernhardi's book "Germany and the Next War" in great detail during the years leading up to World War I, which was greatly influenced by his beliefs. The book is often cited as an example of the aggressive and expansionist mentality that sparked the outbreak of World War I.
