    Yes. This quote or except from the book supported the need of Germany of colonial possessions and lands in order to suffice the need of the country. As an industrial country it needed vital raw resources that can only be found in the colony that can shape the nation's economy. Also it shaped the social standing of Germany as a powerful nation and shapes the new political battleground that consumed Europe for centuries.
