Bismarck would not waste the bones of a single Prussian soldier for the Balkans. I don´t think that this is an option now, especially, since Prussia ceased to exist in 1945.

Are you sure you don't mean 1918?

Surely even Bismarck came to rue his role a peace maker at the Berlin Conference. True, European peace was brokered, but almost every participant, especially the Slavs cared less for peace than conquest, and forever blamed him and Germany for stopping the bloodletting. Bismarck should have followed his own advice and not become involved in the suicidal struggles of a bunch of “Sheep Stealers”.

Micheal , wasn’t that a “single Pommeranian grenadier”? And unlike Prussia, Pommerania has never been incorporated into Never-Neverland. Three Polish provinces preseve its name.
