Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Germany Behind any human institution there stand a few men - perhaps only one man - who direct its movement, protect its interests, or serve as its mouthpiece. This applies to nations. If we Wish to know for What a nation stands and what are its ideals and by what means it seeks to realise them, we shall do well to know something of the men who lead its people or express their feelings. It is of vital importance that we should understand the attitude of every one of the nations - both friends and enemies - involved in this war. For in this way only can we know what is necessary to be done to achieve victory. And the remarkable man who has written this book knows those who lead the warring nations in this titanic conflict very much better than ordinary men know their own townsmen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England Germany These letters, which appeared originally in The Observer, are reproduced, with the kind permission of Lord Northclifie, at the request of a number of people known and unknown to me, who thought them worthy of preserva tion. A few corrections and expurgations have been made, and they have been slightly added to. Otherwise they stand as I wrote them, partly while travelling abroad. If they suffer from tautology, I would submit the opinion of De Quincey, that in a newspaper tautology is a virtue; as for the iterative method, that, in dealing with a problem of this nature, was part of my deliberate intention. Since they were written a calm has fallen upon Europe; the relations between England, Germany, and France have sensibly improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England, Germany and Europe Never has there been so sudden a change in the complexion Of a nation as that which took place among us during the first days of August. One week we saw nothing but confusion, irresolution, pro crastination; party spirit enraged to an unknown degree the very foundations of the State undermined, the House of Commons, which is the mainspring in our institutions lamed, civil war imminent. For the first time within the memory of man the authority Of Parliament was Openly challenged by men in arms. The discipline of the Army had become a question of party politics and men threatened to throw into the cauldron the Crown itself. Look where one would there was no escape, no solution of the unprecedented entanglement. A few days passed and the voice of faction was dead the two Houses of Parliament'at harmony within and united with each other showed themselves to be representatives of a united nation, and for the first time since the death of Pitt we heard from the Treasury Bench in clarion tones the authentic voice of England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Germany IT is right for me to say that this volume of the series has been carefully revised by Mr. A. W. Ward, than Whom England can supply no one better fitted to deal with matters of German History of all dates. Mr. Ward must be understood as guaranteeing only the general accuracy of the narrative. In other respects the volume falls under the same rules as its fellows. As I have already said in the Preface to the History of England, this volume, like the others, is strictly the work of its own author, subject only to the requirement of a general agreement in form and treatment with the other volumes of the series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England or Germany Partisans, especially English-speaking partisans, are pretty sure to condemn this book of mine as if it were written in a spirit of bitter prejudice. There is probably an inclination in me to take the weaker side, the side of those who have the odds against them, for I have often noticed this inclination in other Celts; but this tendency, if it exists, is not the bias usual among American writers. In self-justifi cation I say that those who would stand upright must lean against the prevalent wind in proportion to its strength. Of course, one may lean too far and lose balance; if I have done that, it is involuntary and I shall have to pay for the folly.

Download or read book How England Looks to Germany Classic Reprint written by Gerhart von Schulze-Gaevernitz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How England Looks to Germany Netherlands until in the eighteenth century the French, once the dreaded enemies of England, had become her allies on sufferance and had drifted into a state of impotent inactivity. With the Netherlands eliminated, England and France remained the sea powers of the world. Frederick the Great wittily spoke of a British man-ofwar with a Dutch sloop in tow as representing the sea power of his time. England Grasps the Trident. Ever since those days Great Britain has maintained a firm hold upon Neptunes trident, which is the scepter of world-domain. She (England) wants to close free Amphitrite skingdom As one might close his own home-gate. Thus Schiller, with his keen insight, characterized the ultimate cause of all world wars in his age as well as our own. The English wars of that time were directed against France as the most dangerous rival for the dominion of the seas and of the world. If one may speak of hereditary enmity in the changing course of European politics, such an enmity grew up in the 200 years feud between France and England. Arthur Girault, professor of history at the University of Poitiers and member of the Colonial International Institute, in his work on Principles of Colonization( Principes de Colonisation, Paris, 1904) deals with the period of French history from 1688 to 1815. During that interval not less than seven fierce and long wars were fought between France and England. All those wars, says Girault, were trade wars for England, the purpose of which was to destroy the naval and colonial power of France. English activity brought about all the alliances which were then concluded against us in Europe. And while our troops were fighting on the continent, she destroyed our navy and seized our colonies. Englands Conquest of France, the Then Ruling Power In the beginning of her struggle with England, France was superior to her rival in population and revenue. In colonial enterprises, too, she led. She had isolated the British settlements on the east coast of North America from the hinterland. Canada, the Mississippi Valley, Louisiana and the prosperous West Indies marked the uninterrupted continuity of Greater France in America. In India, too, France had taken the initiative before England. Dupleix discovered the secret of conquering India by means of Indian soldiers, Indian taxpayers and a handful of European military leaders. The English simply carried out the idea of Dupleix; a fact which Seeley in his Expansion of England expressly acknowledges. Even during the American war of independence the brilliant Suffren ruled the Indian ocean for France that sea which since that time has been looked upon as the exclusive property of England until the cruise of the Emden in our own day. This triumph she achieved by concentrating all her strength upon her navy and by inducing other nations to fight out her wars on land. At one time she played off the French against the Dutch, then the Germans against the French, and to-day the French against the Germans. It was a favorite saying of William Pitts that the English conquest of America was accomplished by the attacks of Frederick the Great upon France. During the fury of the French revolution what remained of the French navy was systematically and wantonly annihilated by the destruction of all naval traditions. Carnot made use of the revolutionary enthusiasm and the sovereign power of the state to reconstruct the army. But it is not easy to improvise a new navy, although the flags of the French revolutionary armies bore the proud inscription: Freedom of the Seas! Equal Rights to All Nations!( Liberte des mers! Egalite des droits de toutes les nations!) Napoleon Bursts on the Scene. While France was in that position, a genius of matchless glory arose on her political sky. Napoleon was the last outburst of Latin greatness. His policy, at the first glance, appears fanciful and fragmentary. But there is a unity underlying it w...

Still, since history presents many instances of Governments acting in Opposition to the true interests of their subjects, and others, hardly less numerous, of individuals or classes working on the passions and fears of the bulk of the people to bring about a war by which they hope to profit, it is incumbent on Great Britain not to trust too confidently to the enlightened self interest of other nations, and, therefore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britain as Germany's Vassal During a journey around the globe I studied many countries, and wherever I went I recognised the great power and significance of Germanism. While I was SO occupied, there appeared, in spring, 1912, a book of mine en titled Germany and the Next War. It was intended to point out to the German nation the danger of their political position. It was to show that a great crisis has arrived in Germany's. History, a crisis which is due to the fact that Ger many has entered upon a policy which is making her a colonial and naval Power. That policy is bound to determine Germany's future. In the book; mentioned I intended not only to point out that Germany had arrived at a turning - point in her development, but also that the country must concentrate all its strength and prepare energeti cally for the impending storm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans in England 1066-1598 This book must bear the stamp of a haste which only the urgency of war can justify. It was written in a few months in the intervals of my daily work, and if it has any merits, it is as a rough sketch and outline of its subject. As usual, I found the British Museum unfailing in its courtesy and in its resources. I have to thank Mr. Ferdinand de Mera for his invaluable assistance in translating German authorities and in vestigating crucial points in the Home Recesse and other German archives, and for his map of the roads, towns, and Kontors of the Hanseatic League. To Miss Thompson I am indebted for transcripts from Tudor manuscripts at the British Museum, to Mr. Claud Mullins for researches in the London Guildhall Library, and to Mr. J. S. Sandars for a revision of my proofs. The head of Queen Elizabeth, who expelled the Ger mans from England, was reproduced by the courtesy of the Medal Department of the British Museum.
