Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany Since 1740 The rise of modern Germany has long attracted the interest of American readers, but interest has often been baffled by the complexities of German state and national life and by the mass of detail which historians have in cluded in their accounts of Germany. Many Americans de sire, I believe, an introduction to German history. I have attempted to meet this desire by choosing the most inter esting period from the accessions of Maria Theresa and Frederick the Great in I 740 down to recent times and presenting only the most important events of this period. Both for facts and for ideas I am indebted to German as well as English printed sources and to numerous Prince ton friends and colleagues. More particular gratitude has been richly merited by Professor Sidney B. Fay of Smith College, who read the manuscript of the whole book with exceeding care and offered many acute observations and suggestions. To John H aughton Coney I can no longer voice acknowledgment of the stimulus which his counsel always gave, for he is gone, and Princeton and American historical science have lost one of their noblest spirits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin and Germany, Vol. 21 Frederic the Great hated England most cordially and, we may say, most justly, for from the earliest days of his accession to the throne of Prussia, 1740, his uncle, George II, had ever shown an animosity which he took but meagre, if any, pains to con ceal. The real and only cause was an inherent jealousy and fear that this nephew might increase his small domain even by inches, to the detriment Of the English ancestral continental centre, the Electorate of Hanover.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Modern German History by : Helmut Walser Smith
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Modern German History written by Helmut Walser Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive, multi-author survey of German history that features cutting-edge syntheses of major topics by an international team of leading scholars. Emphasizing demographic, economic, and political history, this Handbook places German history in a denser transnational context than any other general history of Germany. It underscores the centrality of war to the unfolding of German history, and shows how it dramatically affected the development of German nationalism and the structure of German politics. It also reaches out to scholars and students beyond the field of history with detailed and cutting-edge chapters on religious history and on literary history, as well as to contemporary observers, with reflections on Germany and the European Union, and on 'multi-cultural Germany'. Covering the period from around 1760 to the present, this Handbook represents a remarkable achievement of synthesis based on current scholarship. It constitutes the starting point for anyone trying to understand the complexities of German history as well as the state of scholarly reflection on Germany's dramatic, often destructive, integration into the community of modern nations. As it brings this story to the present, it also places the current post-unification Federal Republic of Germany into a multifaceted historical context. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in modern Germany.

Download or read book The Classical Centre written by T. J. Reed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this book examines the nature and significance of Classicism as a literary phenomenon and relates the beginnings of the German variety to the search for a national identity in the circumstances of a politically fragmented eighteenth century Germany. It surveys the pre-classical scene, traces the intellectual currents and the literary forms and material which Classicism was to synthesise, and presents its theoretical basis. The major works of Goethe and Schiller in the decade of their partnership are analysed. Their response to political events is placed in the contemporary context and the divergences which challenge Classicism are discussed.

Book Synopsis Germany under the Old Regime 1600-1790 by : John G. Gagliardo
Download or read book Germany under the Old Regime 1600-1790 written by John G. Gagliardo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German history in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is notoriously inaccessible to non-specialists. When other European countries were well on the way to becoming nation states, Germany remained frozen as a territorially-fragmented, politically and religiously-divided society. The achievement of this major contribution to the new History of Germany is to do justice to the variety and multiplicity of the period without foundering under the wealth of information it conveys.

Book Synopsis Warfare in Pre-British India – 1500BCE to 1740CE by : Kaushik Roy
Download or read book Warfare in Pre-British India – 1500BCE to 1740CE written by Kaushik Roy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive survey of warfare in India up to the point where the British began to dominate the sub-continent. It discusses issues such as how far was the relatively bloodless nature of pre-British Indian warfare the product of stateless Indian society? How far did technology determine the dynamics of warfare in India? Did warfare in this period have a particular Indian nature and was it ritualistic? The book considers land warfare including sieges, naval warfare, the impact of horses, elephants and gunpowder, and the differences made by the arrival of Muslim rulers and by the influx of other foreign influences and techniques. The book concludes by arguing that the presence of standing professional armies supported by centralised bureaucratic states have been underemphasised in the history of India.
