QUESTION 5 :
“Yet, we must not forget that a sixth power exists in Europe, maintaining at certain moments its domination over all five so-called ‘great powers’, and causing them all to tremble. This power is X. After having long dwelt in quiet retirement, it is now again summoned to the battlefield by crises and starvation… There is needed only a signal and the sixth and the greatest European power will step forth in shining armour, sword in hand, like Minerva from the brow of the Olympian. The impending European war will give the signal.”
-Karl Marx, for a New York newspaper in 1854.
The passage may be tedious but the question is simple – What is X??
