None of the Above     This Question is based on the following passage:   The meeting of December 1912 is an illuminating example of the way decision-making was conducted in Imperial Germany, and will serve here to illustrate the Kaiser's influence and importance. The meeting was conducted against the international background of the Balkan Wars, which broke out between the Balkan League and Turkey on 8 October 1912. Initially, the Kaiser had displayed a surprisingly peaceful attitude, having decided to stay out of the conflict. By December, however, the crisis threatened to escalate, and a European war appeared increasingly likely. The news from London of Britain's resolve not to stay neutral in a possible conflict on the Continent, but to come to France's aid in case of hostilities between Germany and France, was met by the Kaiser with absolute - if characteristic - outrage. Any doubts one might have harbored regarding Britain's alleged friendly attitude, he raged, were now dispersed and it was time to act. The military and naval advisers that he invited to his castle in Berlin agreed. Helmuth von Moltke, the Chief of the General Staff, explained that he considered a war unavoidable and advocated it 'the sooner the better', arguing that the current diplomatic situation was as favourable as it had ever been. From a military point of view, the position was clear-cut: Germany would in time lose the slight advantage she currently possessed over her future enemies, and war would soon cease to be a feasible option for Germany's decision-makers. The Chief of Staff's often quoted words 'war now or never' are to be taken quite literally. 15.  The Balkan League refers to the alliance of:     a. Serbia, Montenegro, Greece and Bulgaria b. Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria c. Serbia, France, Greece and Germany d.
