Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln

War is merely the continuation of policy by other means. / We see, therefore, that war is not merely an act of policy but a true political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse carried on with other means. What remains peculiar to war is simply the peculiar nature of its means.

Ch. 1, Section 24, in the Princeton University Press translation (1976) | War is merely the continuation of politics by other means. | 'War is merely the continuation of politics with other means.'
