Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and Its Colonies It might be considered more logical to place the stamps of Thurn and Taxis under a separate heading, as has been done with those of the German States that were merged into those of the North German Confederation, or the Empire; but as the service extended to several States in North and South Germany they are not localised, and have usually been placed under the head of Germany, and it is perhaps better to. Conform to custom. The postage stamp history of Germany will, therefore, be considered under the following heads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Colonies: A Plea for the Native Races The question of the retention by the Allies or the restoration to Germany of the colonies which the latter has lost, as an immediate consequence of her acts of unprovoked aggression in Europe, is one which will, of course, mainly be determined by the character of the peace eventually secured. Even if the statesmen of Europe and America find themselves at last in a position to dictate terms to Germany, there is a certain danger that they may fail to attach to this matter the import ance which rightly belongs to it.

Download or read book The German Colonies written by René Puaux and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Colonies: What Is to Become of Them? Pan-Germans who feel absolutely sure of victory - in the absence of such a conviction the projects of annexing Antwerp, the Briey basin, etc., would be paradoxical - will not even discuss the question of whether the German colonies should be restored to their pre-war possessors. A large section of the public regards their restitution as reasonable enough. It is admitted that a prolific country like Germany needs colonial possessions to take her surplus population; and, as nobody dreams of stifling the German people when it has received its punishment, or of forbidding it to resume a normal and healthy existence, it is expected generally that the future peace treaty will include a clause exchanging the captured German colonies for Alsace-Lorraine or the freedom of Belgium. This is the normal view, seldom discussed, and never opposed. However, the problem is far less simple than it appears on the surface. In the first place, we no longer live in the times of Ruy Blas, when "niggers" were a kind of merchandise to be bartered for "arsenic" without the least consideration for the "niggers" views on the matter; in the second, the opinions of the British Colonies, Dominions, Commonwealths and Federations, whose armies conquered the colonies in question, cannot be disregarded.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Germany and Her Colonies After all, however, even these powerful Frankish conquerors had but imperfect success in Germany When they were present with their formidable armies, they could command obedience when engaged, as they often were, in distant parts of the vast Frankish territory, they could not trust to the fulfilment of the fair. Promises they had exacted. One of the chief causes of their ill - success was the continued independence of the Saxons. Ever since they had acquired the northern half of Thuringia, this warlike race had been extending its power. They were still heathens, cherishing bitter hatred towards the Franks, whom they regarded as the enemies both of their liberties and of their religion and their hatred found expression, not only in expeditions into Frankish territory, but in help willingly rendered to every German confederation which wished to throw off the Frankish yoke. Hardly any rebellion against the dukes of the Franks, or against King Pippin, took place in Germany without the Saxons coming forward to aid the rebels. This was perfectly understood by the Frankish rulers, who tried again and again to put an end to the evil by subduing the Saxons They could not, however, attain their Object. An occasional victory was gained, and some border tribes were from time to time compelled to pay tribute, but the mass of the Saxons remained unconquered. This was partly due to the fact that the Saxons had not, like the other German confederations, a duke who, when beaten, could be held responsible for the engagements forced upon him as the representative of his subjects. A Saxon chief who made peace with the Franks could undertake nothing for the whole people. As a conquering race, they were firmly compact; conquered, they were in the hands of the victor a rope of sand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In a German Colony, or Four Weeks in New Britain Since very little information has so far appeared through the medium of the British press concerning those possessions in the Pacific, included under the comprehensive title of the Protectorate of New Guinea, it has seemed to me that to shape my voluminous notes into book-form may be of use to future travellers. With that end in view, it also appears desirable to explain that much in these remote islands remains to be discovered. Speculative theories therefore, however tempting the data, have been scrupulously avoided.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans and Africa, Their Aims on the Dark Continent and How They Acquired Their African Colonies After a survey of the diplomatic history of the period, the question naturally intrudes itself - Was Great Britain justified in the attitude she first adopted towards her new competitor? From the British point of view, certainly. Great Britain had been first in the field, and in the struggle of the nations the first-comer naturally expects, if his strength fail not, to retain the prizes within his grasp. But the fact must not be overlooked that there is much to be said from the German point of View, and although the game of grab can never be a polite and gentle exercise, no player has really the right to complain if another is first in the field and secures the best stakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The South and Germany Classic Reprint written by Lyon Gardiner Tyler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South and Germany A word or two may be said as to the ethics of secession and its possible success and actual defeat. As an original question union is always better than division. If the united empire of all the English - speaking people had not been broken in 1776, perhaps through this overwhelming power, universal peace would now be a fact instead of universal war. Had the American colonies failed in their contest with Great Britain, as at times it appeared they would do, even with the powerful assistance of France, all hope would not have been extinguished. There is no reason to sup pose that any English colony would ever have experienced the condition of a Spanish satrapy. Probably after a few years, under a change of party, and the growing sense of liberty in England, the rebellion itself would have fallen into disrepute in America. But even union, great as the idea is, is not the only thing to be considered. Certainly, if, in 1776, the unjust and unconstitutional taxes imposed by the British government created an incompatibility which justified the rupture of the British Union, there was just as much reason for the rupture of the Federal Union, when the two sections had an irrepressible issue between them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany's Colonial Failure Rule Most people recognized, from press reports and other sources of information, that the better kind of German public opinion was thoroughly aroused on the occasion of the Peters and other revelations. But the full extent and character of the attacks by Germans on the German Col onial Office is even now not appreciated as it should be. In certain quarters there is to - day a disposition to regard the evidence of German atrocities in Africa, brought forward by foreign witnesses, as tainted by bias, and to consider that if Germany has erred at all in this matter, her errors have been no worse than those of certain other colonial Powers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adjustment of the German Colonial Claims: Dedicated to the American and British Delegates of the Peace Conference Under these circumstances it would be interesting to make a short investigation of a much debated question viz. If in the past German Colonies were really a danger to other Powers and if in the future such a thing could become possible. Such suspicions concerning military plans can surely be regarded by the late German Government with a free conscience, as they never in their 30 years occupation made efforts toward fortifications or such military organisations, as could be considered aggressive towards their neighbours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Empire of Central Africa: As the Basis of a New German World Policy The Moderates, no less than the pan-germans, desire that Germany should be able to show her position strengthened after the war. There are two sub-varieties of Moderate opinion with regard to the direction in which Germany is to gain. One is the M ittel - Euro pa school. This lays the emphasis upon a closer union, political, military and economic, between the German Empire and its Allies austria-hungary, Bulgaria 'and Turkey - in such wise that there is a continuous belt Of German power from Hamburg to the Persian Gulf, a great central-european realm capable of defying the world. This scheme could be realized with practically no annexation. The other sub-variety sees Germany's future greatness secured by a great Empire in tropical Africa, in Mittel - Afrika, extending right across the Continent from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. This in volves considerable annexations, but annexations in Africa, not Europe. Very often the two schemes - mittel-europa and Mittel - Afrika - are held both together. But commonly even those who hold both ideas lay greater stress on one than on the other. It may be questioned whether any strong spontaneous interest is felt by the German masses in the lost oversea colonies. We find, for example, the champions of the Colonial Idea occasionally complain of wide-spread popular indifference, though they note with satisfaction that the war has turned the great mass Of the working-classes, who had hitherto been indifferent to the Colonial movement, or even averse from it, into its most convinced friends (dr. Solf, Secretary of State for the Colonies, quoted in the Kreuz Zeitung for January 9, But if gain is not to be had in other directions, then the gain of colonial territory acquires value as a salve to national pride, which would be wounded, if the war ended in loss all round. It is perhaps for this reason that Of late the idea of the African Empire has seemed to be in the ascendant.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Reminiscences of East Africa N all the German colonies, though but a few decades old, a life full of promise was discernible. We were beginning to under stand the national value of our colonial possessions; settlers and capital were venturing in; industries and factories were beginning to flourish. Compared with that of other nations, the colonizing process of Germany had progressed peacefully and steadily, and the inhabitants had confidence in the justice of German administration. This development had barely commenced when it was destroyed by the world war. In spite of all tangible proofs to the contrary, an unjustifiable caign of falsehood is being conducted in order to make the world believe that the Germans lacked colonizing talent and were cruel to the natives. A small force, mainly composed of these very natives, opposed this development. Almost without any external means of coercion, even without immediate payment, this force, with its numerous native followers, faithfully followed its German leaders throughout the whole of the prolonged war against a more than hundredfold superiority. When the armistice came it was still fit to fight, and imbued with the best soldierly spirit. That is a fact which cannot be controverted, and is in itself a sufficient answer to the hostile mis-statements.
