We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feeling towards them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their Government acted in entering this war. It was not with their previous knowledge or approval. Which best states the type of appeal that is in the excerpt?

I think the idea sprung out in "...It was not upon their impulse that their Government acted in entering this war..."

Simply because Germany's people are not a part of those who wanted the war but it is a government decision. The speaker wanted to point out the innocence of the people and responsibility of a government to be accountable for its actions.
