Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period of almost half a century from 1871 to 1919 was one of huge upheaval, restlessness and change in Germany. Situated at the crossroads of history and geography, the country under Bismarck was struggling to preserve the predominance of Prussia and its traditional ruling elites, whilst also recognising the importance of modernisation. By the turn of the century Germany had overtaken Britain as the workshop of the world in industry, science, ideas and the arts, with enormous investments being made in these areas. Many people lost or swapped their traditional livelihoods, moved from the countryside to the cities, and embarked on a road to a prosperity unparalleled in Europe. Then in 1914 came the outbreak of the First World War, unleashing one of the greatest catastrophes of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: In a remarkably vibrant narrative, Michael Stürmer blends high politics, social history, portraiture, and an unparalleled command of military and economic developments to tell the story of Germany’s breakneck rise from new nation to Continental superpower. It begins with the German military’s greatest triumph, the Franco-Prussian War, and then tracks the forces of unification, industrialization, colonization, and militarization as they combined to propel Germany to become the force that fatally destabilized Europe’s balance of power. Without The German Empire’s masterly rendering of this story, a full understanding of the roots of World War I and World War II is impossible.

Download or read book The German Empire, 1871-1918 written by Hans-Ulrich Wehler and published by Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, UK ; Dover, N.H. : Berg Publishers. This book was released on 1985-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the Fischer Controversy on the origins of World War I there emerged in West Germany a younger generation of historians who took a critical 'revisionist' view of the Bismarckian Empire and began to analyze the political development of the Hohenzollern monarchy against the background of the country's social and economic power structures. Professor Wehler became one of the most prominent exponents of this approach and his structural analysis of the 'Kaiserreich' created a considerable stir when it was first published. It has since, with its incisive and rigorous analysis, become a classic in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Empire was founded in January 1871 not only on the basis of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's 'blood and iron' policy but also with the support of liberal nationalists. Under Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany became the dynamo of Europe. Its economic and military power were pre-eminent; its science and technology, education, and municipal administration were the envy of the world; and its avant-garde artists reflected the ferment in European culture. But Germany also played a decisive role in tipping Europe's fragile balance of power over the brink and into the cataclysm of the First World War, eventually leading to the empire's collapse in military defeat and revolution in November 1918. With contributions from an international team of twelve experts in the field, this volume offers an ideal introduction to this crucial era, taking care to situate Imperial Germany in the larger sweep of modern German history, without suggesting that Nazism or the Holocaust were inevitable endpoints to the developments charted here.

Download or read book Blood and Iron written by Katja Hoyer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this vivid fifty-year history of Germany from 1871-1918—which inspired events that forever changed the European continent—here is the story of the Second Reich from its violent beginnings and rise to power to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. Before 1871, Germany was not yet nation but simply an idea. Its founder, Otto von Bismarck, had a formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual states under the yoke of a single Kaiser? How would he convince proud Prussians, Bavarians, and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival the empires of Britain and France—all without destroying itself in the process? In this unique study of five decades that changed the course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. This often startling narrative is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery, social upheaval, and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood and iron.

Book excerpt: A vivid, concise account of the German Empire, from its proclamation at Versailles in 1871 to its final dissolution, also at Versailles, in 1919.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Synopsis The German Empire 1871-1918 by : Kurt E. Breitner
Download or read book The German Empire 1871-1918 written by Kurt E. Breitner and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on Imperial German history launches the History Made Simple Series (HMSS) and is the first in a four-volume set on Germany. The other volumes are Weimar Germany and the Rise of the Nazis (1918-1933), Nazi Germany (1933-1945), and, post-war Germany: From division to reunification (1945-present). HMSS books are for everyone who finds history dull and boring. Let's face it; most of us aren't history buffs. We don't spend our free time reading up on historical periods, persons, or events. We would sooner surf the web or vegetate on a couch with a remote control than read the typical history book. Why does the series begin with Germany and not some other "ship"? I picked Germany for these reasons: It has been the economic motor of Europe for over 140 years; it played a central role in two World Wars; it was the birthplace of the nasty phenomena of Nazism and Hitlerism; it was one of the few countries that were split after the second World War into capitalist and communist halves; and it was reunited as a single state when the cold war ended. Last but not least, Germany today is the dominant player in The European Union, the world's largest market, which is currently undergoing serious centrifugal pressures. HMSS offers a new approach to transmitting historical information. It makes the history of separate countries as simple and enjoyable as possible with hundreds of illustrations, and lots of humor and irony, just the ingredients that make life itself interesting. All historical actors, large and small, voice their opinions and argue with each other, and sometimes with me, the author. History can't be interesting to the non-specialist when it's served up as a cold monologue like the nine o'clock news. You might say history is a futile exercise. We can't agree about the present, how can we possibly agree about the past, right? Sure, but who said we have to agree about everything? In addition, aren't the most informed opinions all sides of an argument? So sit back, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy the read! Kurt E. Breitner
