Nietzche

I found a good quote further on in Consolations for Difficulties (Nietzche)
>The greater and more terrible the passions are that an age, a people, an individual can permit themselves, because they are capable of employing them as a means, the higher stands their culture.

Now I know no one goes to Nietzche for sober wisdom, but I wondered what this might refer to (colonialism, USSR, Nazi Germany, if not what?).
This is from the same man who wrote to his mother after drinking 4 beers
>Dear Mother
If I write to you today it is about one of the most unpleasant and painful incidents I have ever been responsible for. In fact I misbehaved very badly and I don't know whether you can or will forgive me.
