Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the German Emperors and Their Contemporaries Looking at these portraits reminded me of Carlyle's saying, that the history of the world is but the biography of great men; and the thought struck me that it might be a good plan to begin with Charlemagne, and come down to the present time, taking as a clue, through the Middle or Dark Ages, a connected outline of the lives of the Emperors, and the great events which occurred in their times, with a brief mention of their contemporaries, even though it might occasion some repetition. If this work serves as a guide through any of the intricacies of history, and adds a modicum to the general knowledge of past events and characters, the ambition of the author will be satisfied.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Emperor In force of character and intellectual power the present Emperor surpasses any of his predecessors, certainly up to the time of the Great Frederick. There are but few who know him well, but amongst those this sweeping statement will be re cognised as within the truth, and moreover one that might have been made of him from his schoolboy years up. He thinks for himself, thinks logically, and, like many logical people on the threshold of life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...of the richest provinces of the Netherlands. It is related in old German chronicles of the sixteenth century, that Katharina von Schwarzburg once made the terrible Duke of Alva tremble. She was a German dame, belonging to a house which had been noted for its heroes from the earliest times, and which had given the Emperor Gunther to Germany. In 1547, when the Emperor Charles V., after the victory of Milhlberg, was about to send some of his troops through Thuringia to the Netherlands, Katharina obtained from him a safeguard or warrant that her subjects and her property should be unmolested on the march of the Spanish troops through her territories. On her part, she was to furnish bread, beer, and other provisions for a fair price at the bridge of Rudolstadt, over which the army was to pass. She took the precaution, however, to pull down the bridge near the city and build another at some distance from it, in order that her rapacious guests might not be led into temptation. At the same time she sent word to her subjects, who lived on the road the troops were to take, to bring all their treasures to the castle of Rudolstadt for safekeeping. Meantime, the Duke of Alva, accompanied by Henry of Bmnswick and his sons, approached the castle, and sent forward a messenger, inviting himself and his generals to breakfast with the Countess von Schwarzburg. So modest a request from the head of a powerful army could not well be refused. "What the house afforded would be given," was the answer. "His Excellency would be welcome." At the same time she reminded him of the safeguard, and requested him to see that it was strictly enforced. A friendly reception and a well-filled table awaited the duke and his suite at the castle, and he...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and the German Emperor In the controversial portions of the subject, there is, no doubt, a risk in speaking what seems to be plain truth. Hom' soit qm' ma! Y pense. It is to German thinkers we owe the belief that the risk of mere politeness is greater, as it is also to German thinkers, above all, that we owe the evolutionary method in historical study, the emphasis on geographical and economic factors, and the thought that, in some dark cave deep set in the mountain of facts, the indomitable seeker may surprise the good fairy of the story - the Volksgez'st, the spirit of the people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Empire of to-Day Outlines of Its Foundation and Development The great men who laid its foundations have passed away, leaving their footprints on the sands of time. King William of Prussia, the first German Emperor, was crowned at Versailles, just before the termination of the war with France, in the presence of a brilliant assembly of German princes. He enjoyed a peaceful yet glorious reign of twenty years, during which he saw his dominions expand to unexpected dimensions. Bismarck, Moltke, von Roon, and the others have come and gone: they were Empire-makers of a stamp not easily to be found again. Fortunate it was for the German people that they were there at hand during the years when the country required just such men and the abilities that they so markedly possessed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany Under Three Emperors Amid all the grave preoccupations that have absorbed the world during the last three years and prevented it from thinking about the past I experienced a strong feeling of hesitation before deciding to relate the incidents of which I write. And yet, according to the eloquent remark of Catherine the Great, it is only in reading the past that one can foresee the future, so far, at least, as the historical development of nations is concerned. Perhaps, indeed, Europe would have fared better had it studied with closer attention the events that gradually transformed Prussia into the powerful war machine the great European conflict has proved her to be. The processes of Militarism spread over three reigns. In the development of these processes is embodied practically all the history which Germany has made under William I., Frederick III., and, so far, William II. Any account of Germany under these three Emperors, therefore, must perforce make that predominance the thread of the narrative, and particularly must this be so with the present volume, which deals with the political evolution of Germany in its relations with the rest of Europe. From this same cause, too, it is inevitable that, even to the limits of iteration, one name should recur. For who but Bismarck was mostly responsible, through the three reigns, for the international political situation?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William of Germany: A Succinct Biography of William I., German Emperor and King of Prussia By the death of Kaiser William, the successorship to the royal and imperial thrones of Prussia and Germany falls to his eldest son, so long known as the crown-prince or Um ser Fritz, who ascends the throne as Frederic III. His consort, the new Empress, Princess Royal of England, the favorite daughter of the late Prince Consort, is a woman of noble character, who has exercised a beneficial influence upon her husband, and who, it is generally admitted, has done much towards implanting in the new Emperor's mind the love of constitutionalism, which, if he lives, will gradu ally take the place of the absolutism and militarism that has almost necessarily characterized the reign of the dead Emperor. The dead Emperor's last thoughts were with his eldest son. During the night he bade farewell to all around his bedside. To Prince Bismarck he said Thou hast done well To Prince William he said You must treat the Czar of Russia with the utmost consideration. He listened earnestly to the prayers of the Court Chaplain, Dr. Koegel, and said It is well to have service, for it is Lent. When Dr. Koegel read the twenty-third Psalm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William I. And the German Empire: A Biographical and Historical Sketch The Emperor William is not only in himself a vigorous and striking personality, but he is the embodiment of that great German Power which is now the first factor in European politics. He is thus invested with a double interest, individual and national. In tracing his singularly fortunate and dramatic career in the following pages, I have therefore sought to combine with the personal narrative some account, first, of the Prussian Kingdom and people, and secondly, of the foundation and consolidation of the new German Empire. My information has been gathered from a variety of sources, as I have acknowledged in the body of the work. In the Appendix I have given a collection of Statistics from recent returns, which furnish a bird's eye view of the extent, growth, and present position of Germany. I have thus endeavoured to give a triple aspect to this sketch - the biographical, the social and progressive, and the historical; and I shall be glad if in consequence it be found to possess a more than ephemeral value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and Good Faith: A Study of the History of the Prussian Royal Family It was on August 7th that I was offered the manuscript. Of Germany and Good Faith. It did not take me long to decide that here was a book which was just what the public wanted, dealing as it does with a subject which is of the deepest interest to us all at the present moment, for Germany and Good Faith is concerned with that German foreign policy which has at the present time reduced the world to chaos. Here is a history of the diplomacy during the past 300 years of that family which is now the ruling house of Germany. Such a history has never before been given to the world, and. Yet it is, of all histories, the one we most ought to know at the present juncture. The author very modestly claims that it is written for the man in the street, but anyone who looks at the vast amount of research that has gone to the making of it will realise that it is also a book for the quite serious student of world politics. I was struck, however, not only by the gap that it would fill in the knowledge of most of us, but also by the amazing frankness with which it was written. I do not think I have ever encountered a book, and certainly never a book written with such seriousness of aim on so serious a subject, which has been characterised by such extreme outspokenness. The writer is no: respecter of persons, and says exactly what he thinks, and you may take it or leave it as you choose. He strikes not with a gloved hand, but with a mailed fist; but, at the same time, fierce as his onslaughts are upon those of whose conduct he disapproves, I do not think that he is ever wittingly unfair. The care which he has taken to discriminate between the German public as individuals and the rulers of the German. Nation is quite sufficient to show that.

Four thousand miles westward, in the city of Chicago, some seven hundred delegates were assembled in National Convention, to select the twenty-third President of a great Republic, which also stood upon the threshold of its hundredth birthday.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Germany as a distinct region can be traced to Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as "Germania", which distinguished it from Gaul (France). In the Late Middle Ages, the regional dukes, princes and bishops gained power at the expense of the emperors, and Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation against the Catholic Church after 1517. The northern German states became Protestant, while the south remained Catholic. These two parts of the Holy Roman Empire clashed in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The separate German states that ensued were gathered back into a single German state by Otto von Bismarck, forming the German Empire in 1871. Germany's industrial power grew over the decades leading to World War 1, which was again ruinous for the country. The rise of Nazism and Adolph Hitler in the 1930s resulted a second ruinous war that cost the lives of 9 million Germans, 6 million Jews, and tens of millions of others. Since World War 2 Germany has prospered and become a leading member of the European Union.
