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.

Excerpt: ...of the richest provinces of the Netherlands. It is related in old German chronicles of the sixteenth century, that Katharina von Schwarzburg once made the terrible Duke of Alva tremble. She was a German dame, belonging to a house which had been noted for its heroes from the earliest times, and which had given the Emperor Gunther to Germany. In 1547, when the Emperor Charles V., after the victory of Milhlberg, was about to send some of his troops through Thuringia to the Netherlands, Katharina obtained from him a safeguard or warrant that her subjects and her property should be unmolested on the march of the Spanish troops through her territories. On her part, she was to furnish bread, beer, and other provisions for a fair price at the bridge of Rudolstadt, over which the army was to pass. She took the precaution, however, to pull down the bridge near the city and build another at some distance from it, in order that her rapacious guests might not be led into temptation. At the same time she sent word to her subjects, who lived on the road the troops were to take, to bring all their treasures to the castle of Rudolstadt for safekeeping. Meantime, the Duke of Alva, accompanied by Henry of Bmnswick and his sons, approached the castle, and sent forward a messenger, inviting himself and his generals to breakfast with the Countess von Schwarzburg. So modest a request from the head of a powerful army could not well be refused. "What the house afforded would be given," was the answer. "His Excellency would be welcome." At the same time she reminded him of the safeguard, and requested him to see that it was strictly enforced. A friendly reception and a well-filled table awaited the duke and his suite at the castle, and he...
Download or read book The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances Classic Reprint written by William II and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Emperor as Shown in His Public Utterances Unlike his grandfather, who shielded himself behind his Chancellor, the present Emperor has always insisted upon making himself the storm-centre of the debates in his Reichstag and among his people. He has played with many, if not all, of his cards upon the table. In accordance with this policy he has gone through his country from end to end and into foreign lands, everywhere announcing his policies and his views on every possible subject of interest or controversy. Up to 1905 he had made upward of five hundred and seventy speeches, and since that time has made almost as many more. It was manifestly impossible to give all of these speeches, and it was also thought unfair to give merely extracts which might fail to represent the spirit of the entire pronouncement. They are all printed, therefore, in the completest form available. Particular speeches have often been reported to the press in widely differing versions. In all cases only those speeches are here presented which have received official or semiofficial sanction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emperor of Germany at Home O sovereign in Europe excites a more lively curiosity than William II. The young Emperor of Germany, since he ascended the throne of the Hohenzollern, has never missed an opportunity of putting himself forward. His every act and movement has been recorded in the newspapers, and we learn that, in his consuming energy, he finds time to occupy himself at the same time with politics and art, with political economy and literature, with military science and music. If we have not had very obvious proof of his artistic or literary talent, we cannot deny his passion for oratory and his need of showing himself off and causing himself to be talked about.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Emperor and the Peace of the World The Anglo-Saxon world, especially the- English section of it, owes an act of justice to the Kaiser William. For nearly a generation he has been represented as something very nearly approaching an irresponsible energumen; the premier English satirical paper has urged him to 'try and be a little gentleman'; he has been lampooned and ridiculed, in season and out of season, with reason and without reason.

Download or read book Germany Under Three Emperors Classic Reprint written by Princess Catherine Radziwill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William of Germany: A Succinct Biography of William I., German Emperor and King of Prussia By the death of Kaiser William, the successorship to the royal and imperial thrones of Prussia and Germany falls to his eldest son, so long known as the crown-prince or Um ser Fritz, who ascends the throne as Frederic III. His consort, the new Empress, Princess Royal of England, the favorite daughter of the late Prince Consort, is a woman of noble character, who has exercised a beneficial influence upon her husband, and who, it is generally admitted, has done much towards implanting in the new Emperor's mind the love of constitutionalism, which, if he lives, will gradu ally take the place of the absolutism and militarism that has almost necessarily characterized the reign of the dead Emperor. The dead Emperor's last thoughts were with his eldest son. During the night he bade farewell to all around his bedside. To Prince Bismarck he said Thou hast done well To Prince William he said You must treat the Czar of Russia with the utmost consideration. He listened earnestly to the prayers of the Court Chaplain, Dr. Koegel, and said It is well to have service, for it is Lent. When Dr. Koegel read the twenty-third Psalm.

Download or read book The Germany and the Agricola of Tacitus written by Cornelius Tacitus and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Germany as a distinct region can be traced to Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as "Germania", which distinguished it from Gaul (France). In the Late Middle Ages, the regional dukes, princes and bishops gained power at the expense of the emperors, and Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation against the Catholic Church after 1517. The northern German states became Protestant, while the south remained Catholic. These two parts of the Holy Roman Empire clashed in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The separate German states that ensued were gathered back into a single German state by Otto von Bismarck, forming the German Empire in 1871. Germany's industrial power grew over the decades leading to World War 1, which was again ruinous for the country. The rise of Nazism and Adolph Hitler in the 1930s resulted a second ruinous war that cost the lives of 9 million Germans, 6 million Jews, and tens of millions of others. Since World War 2 Germany has prospered and become a leading member of the European Union.
