Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born a princess of Schleswig-Holstein in 1858, Empress Augusta Victoria, known in the family as 'Dona', was marked out from early childhood as a potential bride for Prince William of Prussia. When they married in 1881, everyone expected that she would never concern herself with more than the traditional Prussian princess's interests of Kirche, Küche, Kinder (church, kitchen, children). Yet within twenty years of his accession as William II, the last German Emperor, she would become in some ways the stronger character and steadying influence her increasingly neurotic and unstable husband required. This is the first biography of an often overlooked personality in modern history.

This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born a princess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in 1811, Augusta was married at the age of seventeen to Prince William of Prussia, the future King and first German Emperor. A woman of progressive opinions and artistic tastes, married to a man with whom she had almost nothing in common, she soon found herself out of place at the military-minded court of Berlin, an existence she sought to alleviate for a time in an endless round of parties and social activities and an appetite for gossip. But despite increasing ill-health from middle age, she soon found self-fulfilment in her involvement with nursing and other welfare activities in Berlin, as well as her interest in the arts. A friend of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort in England for some years, she passed her liberal views on to her only son Frederick, destined to reign for only three months as German Emperor in 1888, two years before her own death. This is the first biography in English for over a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Augusta, Empress of Germany "A sympathetic account of a very impressive career. The title of the book is happily chosen - Letitia Bonaparte devoted herself wholly to the welfare of her children, and in, the nature of things, Napoleon and his brothers and sisters figure in these pages almost as prominently as the mother. The translation is pleasantly written and will commend itself to many English readers." - Manchester Guardian. "As a sketch of a remarkable woman, Miss Tschudi's work may be welcomed, for it will help the world at large to do tardy justice to a character of exceptional strength." - Saturday Review. "The translation is well done. The book is very readable, and though it has no pretentions to be an important piece of history, it is at least an interesting sketch of a very remarkable Mother of Kings." - Guardian. "She failed to fill the contemporaneous eye. Now perspective has put her in her proper place. It is there that we see her in the present volume." - Pall Mall Gazette.

CHAPTER XI The Empress And Roman Catholicism--the Empress And Beneficence--Personal Impression--The Last Meeting June 16th, 1871, the troops made their entry into Berlin, headed by the Emperor on horseback, accompanied by the Crown Prince and Princes Frederick Charles, Bismarck, Moltke, and Roon, and followed by the Empress and Princesses in carriages, drawn by six horses. 42,000 soldiers decorated with garlands of oak leaves, formed the procession which defiled under triumphal arches, and halted on the square where was unveiled on this same day, the equestrian statue of Frederick William III. The joy of victory had succeeded to the awful loss of human life, and the hardships of war. Milliards of francs were pouring into the land from France, and with giddy rapidity Berlin blossomed forth from a moderate capital into a city of a million inhabitants. The lust of building seized all classes and engaged both small and great in wild speculation. A peasant in Schoneberg became a threefold millionaire, by the sale of a plot of land on which a suburb of villa residences was rapidly mapped out; journeymen masons drove in first class cabs rather than go on foot, and drank champagne instead of their accustomed pint of beer. But one fine morning people woke from their illusion to find that the fever of speculation had ended in bankruptcy. Old commercial houses, apparently founded upon a rock, cracked and tottered, then collapsed. Taxes pressed heavily, trade and industry were approaching a standstill, and disputes at home followed hard upon victories abroad, which naturally tended to drive the milliards of France from the country as rapidly as they had come in. The Jews had been the promoters of these wild speculations which now excited the anger...

Book excerpt: Augusta Victoria, Mary, Alexandra, and Zita were four women who were born to rule. In Imperial Requiem, Justin C. Vovk narrates the epic story of four women who were married to the reigning monarchs of Europe's last empires during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Using a diverse array of primary and secondary sources, letters, diary entries, and interviews with descendants, Vovk provides an in-depth look into the lives of four extraordinary women who stayed faithfully at their husbands' sides throughout the cataclysm of the First World War and the tumultuous years that followed. At the centers of these four great monarchies were Augusta Victoria, Germany's revered empress whose unwavering commitment to her bombastic husband made her a national icon; Mary, whose Cinderella story and immense personal strength made her the soul of the British monarchy through some of its greatest crises; Alexandra, the ill-fated tsarina who helped topple the Russian monarchy through her ineffective rule; and Zita, the resolute empress of Austria whose story of loss and exile captivated the world's attention for seven decades. Imperial Requiem shares the fascinating story of four princesses who married for love, graced imperial thrones, and watched as their beloved worlds were torn apart by war, revolution, heartache, and loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermine Reuss of Greiz is perhaps better known as the second wife of the Kaiser (Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany) whom she married shortly after the death of his first wife Auguste Viktoria and while he was in exile in the Netherlands. She was by then a widow herself with young children. She was known to be ambitious about wanting to return to power, and her husband insisted on her being called 'Empress'. To achieve her goal, she turned to the most powerful man in Germany at the time, Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately, her dream was not realised as Hitler refused to restore the monarchy and with the death of Wilhelm in 1941, Hermine was forced to return to her first husband's lands. She was arrested shortly after the end of the Second World War and would die under mysterious circumstances while under house arrest by the Red Army.

Download or read book Dearest Vicky, Darling Fritz written by John Van der Kiste and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2002-07-18 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work tells the love story of the royal couple against the changing background of 19th-century Germany. It looks at the differing political sympathies of the couple, revealed through letters, and re-examines the prevailing view that the domineering Vicky never bothered to conceal her distaste for everything Prussian and flaunting her sense of British superiority. In many ways ahead of her time, she was something of a pioneer feminist, refusing to accept the oft-accepted maxim that women were second-class citizens. Insufficient consideration has been given to her health and the possibility that her judgement and reason may sometimes have been affected, albeit mildly, by the family's inheritance of porphyria that led to the 'madness' of her great-grandfather George III.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Lake Chad to Iraq, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) provide relief around the globe, and their scope is growing every year. Policy makers and activists often assume that humanitarian aid is best provided by these organizations, which are generally seen as impartial and neutral. In Above the Fray, Shai M. Dromi investigates why the international community overwhelmingly trusts humanitarian NGOs by looking at the historical development of their culture. With a particular focus on the Red Cross, Dromi reveals that NGOs arose because of the efforts of orthodox Calvinists, demonstrating for the first time the origins of the unusual moral culture that has supported NGOs for the past 150 years. Drawing on archival research, Dromi traces the genesis of the Red Cross to a Calvinist movement working in mid-nineteenth-century Geneva. He shows how global humanitarian policies emerged from the Red Cross founding members’ faith that an international volunteer program not beholden to the state was the only ethical way to provide relief to victims of armed conflict. By illustrating how Calvinism shaped the humanitarian field, Dromi argues for the key role belief systems play in establishing social fields and institutions. Ultimately, Dromi shows the immeasurable social good that NGOs have achieved, but also points to their limitations and suggests that alternative models of humanitarian relief need to be considered.
