Still he and his government manage to build a fast-growing, modern, rich homeland with a strong army and a rising navy. His and French emperor Napoleon III's vanity play a part, like Bismarck's system of balancing alliances, in the outbreak of the Great War, the first nightmare worthy to be called a 'world war', ignited in the Balkanic powder keg by his Austrian major ally's escalating conflicting with Serbia and its Russian protector. Instead of the intended fast victory, it bogged down in the trenches nightmare and brought down empires and dynasties, including Hohenstaufen's own, after his generals took over political control.
