1. The German Reich Chancellor rejected Wolff-Metternich's proposal, saying that “public reprimand of an ally in the course of a war would be an act which is unprecedented in history." Compare the way the Reich
Chancellor framed his universe of obligation with the way that Wolff-Metternich constructed his. What
differences do you find most striking?
2. Does this response surprise you, if so please elaborate on why? How might this hands off attitude lead to
unresolved conflict?
