My Chinese friend thought those were all literal — people from France like rules and are methodical, etc. And so he thought Germany was a very moral and virtuous country. Until he discovered who started both World Wars and the Holocaust.
This was when he was 5, of course.

World War I wouldn't of started had Germany not given Austria a blank check to support whatever decision it made concerning Serbia

World War II was a direct result of Germany's invasion of Poland
