Now according to German logic, a declaration of war was found to be unnecessary because of imaginary bombings
In Barbara W. Tuchman's book "The Guns of August," she discusses how the German approach to war declaration was influenced by their perception of events rather than actual occurrences. This reflects a tendency to rely on a form of logic where potential threats or imagined scenarios justified their military actions, eliminating the need for a formal declaration of war.
This perspective emphasizes the complexities of international relations and how misunderstandings or misinterpretations can escalate into conflict. Tuchman's analysis highlights that the German decision-makers believed they were acting preemptively in response to perceived aggressions that existed only in their imagination.
