"Supplement to 'Punch, Or The London Charivari.'—October 14, 1914" by Various is a satirical publication from the early 20th century. This book serves as a humorous commentary on political events and figures of the time, particularly focusing on the tensions leading up to World War I. Using caricature and editorial illustrations, it critiques the aggressive stance of Prussia and its leader, reflecting broader European sentiments during a period marked by conflict and nationalistic fervor. The content of the book revolves around the character of the "Prussian Bully," which symbolizes Prussian militarism and its impact on Europe. Through a series of illustrations and short commentaries, the book depicts various scenarios where Prussia disrupts peace and engages in aggressive territorial ambitions. It highlights key historical moments from the mid-19th century to 1914 where Prussia's ambitions led to wars and political strife, emphasizing a critique of the Prussian approach to international relations and its detrimental effects on smaller nations and Europe as a whole. The tone is both critical and playful, employing humor to address serious political issues. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
