I'm sorry to say this but the French had it coming for them (excluding the Third Reich period, of course).
Anti-French sentiment is still strong in some parts of German society (and I suspect it's the same vice versa), but it's more of a verbal thing than anything else now. The worst part of this entirely unnecessary and stupid German-French conflict is over, hopefully never to return.


but the German Empire was more guilty than the others.
That's an interpretation, and I'd venture to say it's inaccurate.
