The correct answer is

A Greek historian

Thucydides (c. 460 – c. 400 BCE) was an Athenian general and historian. After he failed to prevent the fall of Amphipolis in 424 BCE he was exiled, and he used those years to write the History of the Peloponnesian War, an account of the war between Athens and Sparta from 431 BCE.

His work is valued for its attempt at accurate, evidence-based history and for its analysis of power. The Melian Dialogue, with its line that the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must, and his explanation of the war as caused by the growth of Athenian power and the fear it caused in Sparta, make him a founding figure of realism in international relations.

He was Greek, not Spanish, and lived some two millennia before the modern nation of Spain. He was a historian rather than a French philosopher, and he had no connection with German ideological thought, which belongs to a much later age.

A Greek historian option is correct.
