Title: Captain Seeking Of Settling
Media Type:
Cartoons (Commentary)
Source: Print and Picture Collection
Notes:
Prussia and the larger German Empire's "emphasis on militarism and authority"[1] was seen as one of the root causes of the hostilities leading to World War One. Germany's defeat in WWI is depicted in this cartoon as a sunken war-ship. The flag of "world domination" is shown in tatters and the cannon of "militarism" is now useless.
