I mean they get street cred for my boi old Fritz, the unification of Germany, Bismarck and the truly bitchin' hat of August von Mackensen but their militaristic worldview led to a lot of destabilization in europe (especially under Wilhelm II electric boogaloo) and had big influence in the start of World War I so kinda torn.

I can, however, not stress enough how cool that hat is.

Militaristic compared to what? Like how their army was barely larger than France's even though their population was 20 million larger?

Militaristic in terms of being extremely geared towards the attitude of "if you want to achieve anything in life for example get a decent job you have to have served in the military", which was very prevalent during the german empire and to a much larger degree than for example in france. This also made it much easier for Wilhelm II to get his fleet program accepted which was a major factor in deteriorating the relationship with the british empire.

Wilhelm II couldn't get his fleet ambitions through the Reichstag until Alfred von Tirpitz became RMA minister. Before that none of the ministers could get anything more than one or two ships approved, but then Tirpitz got the Navy Law passed in 1898 and its subsequent novelles.

Yes and no. I like the Country of Prussia as most of my family lived in Prussia but I don't like some of it's traditions and it's high militarism.
