Text on one side, headed 'Why Germany went to War | Points to remember | By the Earl of Denbigh'. There are thirteen points, ranging from Germany's 'aggressive militarism' and the fact that it is 'intensely jealous of England and the British Empire', to 'German inland waterways', and its schemes regarding 'Mittel Europa' and 'Central Africa'. On the reverse is the coloured 'Map showing the German schemes of Central Europe & Central Africa', headed by 'Pin this Up in Your Home | What Germany Wants'. No copy of the handbill on OCLC WorldCat, and only one copy on COPAC (at the National Library of Wales); seven copies of the pamphlet on COPAC.
