Weltpolitik
"''Weltpolitik''" ("world policy") was the foreign policy adopted by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in 1891, which marked a decisive break with former ' "''Realpolitik''," and referred to Germany's foreign policy.
The aim of Weltpolitik was to transform Germany into a global power through aggressive diplomacy, the acquisition of overseas colonies, and the development of a large navy. The origins of the policy can be traced to a Reichstag debate on 6 December 1897 during which German Foreign Secretary Bernhard von Bülow stated, "in one word: We wish to throw no one into the shade, but we demand our own place in the sun." ("''Mit einem Worte: wir wollen niemand in den Schatten stellen, aber wir verlangen auch unseren Platz an der Sonne''."〔''Fürst Bülows Reden nebst urkundlichen Beiträgen zu seiner Politik.'' Mit Erlaubnis des Reichskanzlers gesammelt und herausgegeben von Johannes Penzler. I. Band 1897–1903. Berlin: Georg Reimer, 1907. p. 6-8 (Original text on German Wikisource )〕)
Nancy Mitchell says that the creation of ''Weltpolitik'' was a change in the appliance of German foreign policy. Up until Wilhelm's dismissal of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Germany had concentrated its efforts on stopping the possibility of a two-front war in Europe. Prior to ''Weltpolitik'', Despite a two front war still being at the forefront of Germany's plans as proven through the Schlieffen plan, there was a greater focus on using its army and subtle diplomacy to maintain its status. In particular, Bismarck was wary of acquiring overseas colonies and wished to reserve the role of Germany as honest broker in continental affairs. Kaiser Wilhelm II, however, was far more ambitious. Germany expanded the size of its navy.
