Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Germany The German Empire is a confederation, founded in 1871, and founded by the princes, not by the people, and consists of 25 States and one Imperial Territory, alsace-lorraine. The King of Prussia is ipso facto German Emperor. The legislative power rests with two bodies, the Bundesrat, or Federal Council, and the Reichstag. The Emperor declares war with the consent of the Bundesrat, the assent of the Reichstag not being required. Not even the Bundesrat need be consulted if the war is defensive, and as the Hohen zollerns have always claimed to make defensive warfare it is not surprising that even the unrepresentative Bundesrat was officially informed about the present war three days after the Emperor declared it. He is commander in chief of the army and navy, he has charge of foreign affairs, and makes treaties, subject to the limitation that certain kinds of treaties must be ratified by Parliament. He is assisted by a chancellor, whom he appoints and whom he removes, and who is responsible to him and to him alone. Under the chancellor are various secretaries of state, who simply ad minister departments, but who do not form a cabinet, either in the English or French or American sense. They are responsible to the chancellor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Empire Between Two Wars: A Study of the Political and Social Development of the Nation Between 1871 and 1914 No political development in the past half-century has been so striking as the growth of the German empire. Such a statement is the merest platitude to-day when the world is being rocked to its foundation by the frightful readjustment which may be traced mainly to this cause. It is, perhaps, equally trite to say that hand in hand with this growth there has gone forward an evolution within the empire which is just as striking. Year after year as the nation went on adding to its population and pilling up matchless resources and industry and commerce and still greater possibilities in the training of its scientist and men of affairs it also added tremendously to its burdens and problems. To the growing dangers without there were added dangers within, caused by the ever sharpening strife between feudalism and democracy, agriculture and commerce, industry and labor. The unstable equilibrium thus caused might long since have toppled to a fall had not the rise in power without been accompanied by a growing devotion to national unity and national ambitions. Out of the turmoil of Germany's foreign and domestic struggles there has stood forth more and more clearly great contrast, the contrast between the progress of the nation along economic lines and its arrest in political and social development. It was this contrast, which has struck the attention of so many observers, that suggested the present work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Governments and the World War The general plan of the present volume difiers from that of the first edition. A number of chapters dealing with the govem ments of minor states have been omitted. Chapters devoted to austria-hungary have likewise been dropped, and no attempt has been made to cover the governments of the several lesser states which have risen from the wreckage of the former Habs burg dominion. On the other hand, the space allotted to Great Britain is almost doubled, that given to France is practically tripled, and a closing chapter undertakes to set forth the salient features of soviet government in Russia. Italy continues to be treated somewhat brieﬂy, because of the general similarity of the Italian and French political systems. Switzerland is dealt with substantially as before. In the case of Germany I have decided to retain chapters describing the governments and parties both of the Empire and of Prussia up to 1918, partly because every student of comparative government ought to be familiar with the former German system, and partly because more of the old system than is commonly supposed survives in the new. I have, however, added two chapters which are designed to outline German political development during the Great War and to describe the republican institutions set up in 1918. In this portion of the book I have drawn fre'ely upon chapters which appeared in a volume prepared in collaboration with Dr. Charles A. Beard and published in 1918 under the title National Governments and the World War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Sovereign could not. Have one foreign policy as Duke of schleswig-holstein and another as King of Denmark. It would have been very disadvantageous to the Duchies themselves, if the navy of the Crown had not formed a united whole. In the army the Duchies kept their own regiments, with national colors and a national corps of Officers, both the soldiers of the line and of the garrisons being always natives of the country; but the supreme authority and the highest posts were reserved for the common Government at Copenhagen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Emperor and the German Government: An Address Delivered Before the Germanistic Society of America, January 5, 1909 Fully and guardedly. They certainly were not moved by the hope of securing out of the turmoil the introduction of the parliamentary system of government. But almost without exception they were guided by the men who have been protesting against the centralizing tendencies of re cent years, the states rights men, the modern particularists. Consciously or unconsciously to themselves, I am fully persuaded that their particularism was the secret force which caused them to exaggerate the supposed effects of His Majesty's remarks on the diplomacy and government of the Empire. Through this sentiment they were actually betrayed into a position in which they appeared to the outside world to be acting in harmony with the advocates of parliamentary government, for the purpose of curbing what these latter termed personal government. It be came quickly manifest, however, that this apparent har mony was only momentary and that the nation as a whole is making no demand for parliamentary government, but that, on the contrary, the large majority of the people, and that majority containing the best elements of the people, would most probably oppose its introduction. Being anxious that my own fellow countrymen should understand this situation correctly, I am going to examine into this question of parliamentary government for Germany with some degree of minuteness.

Unhappily, the chancellor's illness had thrown the entire machinery out of gear. When Atlas bends, however slightly, the burthen he carries must necessarily begin to oscillate.

Gathering clouds of war with France furnished both the reason and the excuse, and under the guidance Of Prussia, the North German Confederation was turned in to the German Empire. The war with France taught the new German Empire that war could be an extremely profitable enterprise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Prussian History to 1871 The German Empire to-day consists of twenty-six separate and individual states, each having its own ruler and its own government, but combined for certain purposes, like the United States of America, into a federal union under the hereditary sovereignty of the King of Prussia. This federal empire was established in 1871, after Prussia had defeated in turn her two great rivals, Austria and France. It was the creation of Bismarck and the then King of Prussia, and in the arrangements made for its administration Prussia was deliberately given the preponderance of power in its government - which preponderance it still retains. We have to see, therefore, how Prussia gradually attained to this position of leadership among the many German states. The history of Germany for the last two hundred years is the history of the rise of Prussia, and the history of Prussia is largely the history of the house of Robert zollern.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German African Empire Once bit, twice shy, is accepted as a rough formula of English diplomatic methods, but in all the preliminaries which prepared the way for the proclamations of Germany's territorial annexations in Africa, the British Foreign and Colonial Offices were four times bitten without betraying a single symptom of their proverbial shyness. In the whole business, the German Imperial Government did more than lay the foundations of her transitory Colonial Empire it embarked upon a national course of duplicity, lying, bad faith, and general roguery which culminated in the violation of Belgium, and thereby built for itself a monument of dishonour which will endure until the end of the world. And the monument of blindness and perversity erected by Mr. Gladstone's administrations in their relations with Bismarck in 1883 and 1884 will not be less enduring.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Empire 1867-1914 and the Unity Movement, Vol. 2 of 2 Satisfied that he had put the Socialists in their right place in relation to public law and decorum, Bismarck proceeded to restore order in another part of the national house. The year which followed the passing of the anti-Socialist Law saw the reform of the fiscal system, a task still greater, calling for statesmanship of a more delicate kind and charged with consequences at least as far-reaching, though in other directions. To regard this episode, as is often done, as an abrupt and violent new departure is to misunderstand and undervalue its significance. The introduction of protective legislation in 1879 was in reality the revival of a national tradition. This tradition had been based on the example of Prussia, where the protection of trade, industry, and agriculture had been the careful aim of public policy from the time of Frederick the Great. Not only did that ruler erect fiscal barriers upon his frontiers for the purpose of restricting imports, but his edicts went so far as to forbid the introduction of every class of goods which could be produced at home, even if less cheaply and of inferior quality. On the other hand, the exportation of raw material was forbidden in the interest of cheap production. By subsidies he established new industries, and encouraged old industries which languished. If the foreigner's goods were not desired, the foreigner himself was welcomed, provided only that he brought with him manufacturing skill and knowledge. The State was ever ready with liberal gifts or temporary loans for the purchase of raw materials, and it was quick to recognize the value of technical training, introducing for the purpose foreign teachers. Agriculture was likewise supported in every suitable way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
