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?

This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Treitscke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2: Translated by Eden Cedar Paul In a sense the Federation was not even the work of the Princes themselves; they accepted it, but the idea was that of Metternich, the powerful Austrian Chancellor, who presided over the Congress and bent it to his will, concerned only to divide the States, so that Austria might rule them, so maintaining in the new Germany the same paramount influence which it had held in the old. Austria was made the head of the Federation, but its position was now merely presidential, and conferred upon it no special powers or prerogatives. The time for a new German Emperor had not yet come, much as the ardent friends of national unity wished for the restoration of the ancient office and title. Poor faithful German nation, wrote Arndt in bitterness of soul, thou art to have no Emperor! Thy Princes wish themselves to play the Emperor. Instead of one lord, thou art to have two dozen (in point of fact, there were over three idozen) who will never be able to agree upon German questions. But that was just what Austria wanted.

Download or read book The Government of Germany Classic Reprint written by Charles Downer Hazen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Germany The German Empire is a confederation, founded in 1871, and founded by the princes, not by the people, and consists of 25 States and one Imperial Territory, alsace-lorraine. The King of Prussia is ipso facto German Emperor. The legislative power rests with two bodies, the Bundesrat, or Federal Council, and the Reichstag. The Emperor declares war with the consent of the Bundesrat, the assent of the Reichstag not being required. Not even the Bundesrat need be consulted if the war is defensive, and as the Hohen zollerns have always claimed to make defensive warfare it is not surprising that even the unrepresentative Bundesrat was officially informed about the present war three days after the Emperor declared it. He is commander in chief of the army and navy, he has charge of foreign affairs, and makes treaties, subject to the limitation that certain kinds of treaties must be ratified by Parliament. He is assisted by a chancellor, whom he appoints and whom he removes, and who is responsible to him and to him alone. Under the chancellor are various secretaries of state, who simply ad minister departments, but who do not form a cabinet, either in the English or French or American sense. They are responsible to the chancellor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of the History of Germany: With Brief Extracts From Standard Authorities; Continued Down to the Present Time At length the German branch of the family of Charlemagne became extinct, and his feeble descendants who reigned in France had sunk into such contempt that the Germans, without looking towards them, exercised the right inherent in a free people, and in a general assembly of the nation elected Conrad}s Count of Franconia, emperor. After him Henry of Saxony, and his descendants, the three Othos, were placed, in succession, on the im perial throne by the suffrages of their countrymen. The extensive terri tories of the Saxon Emperors, their eminent abilities and enterprising genius, not only added new vigour to the imperial dignity, but raised it to higher power and pre eminence. Otho the Great marched at the head of a numerous army into Italy, and, after the example of Charlemagne, gave law to that country. Every power there recognised his authority. He created popes, and deposed them, by his sovereign mandate. He annexed the kingdom of Italy to the German Empire. Elated with his success, he assumed the title of Caesar Augustus. A prince, born in the heart of Germany, pretended to be the successor of the emperors of ancient Rome, and claimed a right to tim same power and prerogative. But while the Emperors, by means of these new titles and new dominions, gradually acquired additional authority and splendour, the nobility of Ger many had gone on at the same time extending their privileges and jurisdiction.
