Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option A: Previous conflicts (like the Franco - Prussian War) had stirred intense nationalism in both France and Germany. This would mean that a war between them would be a "people's war" as Moltke predicted, with both nations willing to fight to the limit of their people's strength.
- Option B: France did not have a much larger population than Germany in this period, so this is incorrect.
- Option C: France was not militarily superior to Germany at this time; in fact, Germany had a strong military, so this is wrong.
- Option D: Fascism was not a factor in 1905 (fascism rose later), so this is incorrect.

# Answer:
A. previous conflicts had stirred intense nationalism in France and Germany
