He was one of the first democratic politicians of Germany who argued for rapprochement between France and Germany and may have been the first to suggest a European Union.

However, many of the “oriental” cultures place a premium on inscrutability and avoidance of candor.

So communicating between cultures has often caused difficulties which people have assumed were racial characteristics but were cultural.
