Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how Germany became a military and economic powerhouse that placed its bid for world domination in the 20th century? If you want an answer to this question, have a look at our guide about the Franco-Prussian War! This book will transport you to the late 19th century, allowing you to "witness" one of the seminal moments of modern history. You'll learn what events preceded the confrontation between the waning old European power of France and the up-and-coming Prussian state and how a war led to the unification of Germany into an empire. Through this guide, you'll find out how significant the famous "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck was in preparing the ground for a conflict and how his political genius allowed Prussia to spearhead the German union. It will also showcase all the strengths and weaknesses of the military reforms that came out of the brilliant mind of Helmuth von Moltke, a general who almost singlehandedly created the myth of German martial superiority. On the other hand, this book will also expose all the faults in French military thought and the blunders committed by their leaders. Through their mistakes, you'll learn how indecisiveness and stubborn traditionalism can lead to disaster, at least on the battlefield. You'll learn how their defeats on the front lines led to one of the most humiliating and harshest peace treaties in recent history, setting the stage for later major conflicts. Finally, you'll read about how a war that was planned and orchestrated by a few leaders on both sides led to avoidable death and destruction, ushering in the ideas of "total war." You'll understand how civilian casualties became acceptable while military deaths were idealized as heroic sacrifices to the homeland. Through thrilling stories of military feats and fiascos, you'll learn about the futility of war, hopefully realizing that violence rarely leads to a finite solution. In this captivating guide to the Franco-Prussian War, you'll learn about: When did Franco-German animosity begin? What led to the eruption of war in 1870? Why was the Prussian military superior on the front lines? What were the biggest flaws of the French generals? Where did the largest French defeat of the 19th century take place? Why did the war only last six months? How did the German Empire unify through conflict? Which were the most devastating terms of the 1871 peace treaty? How important was the role of Otto von Bismarck throughout the war? What were the consequences of a German victory over the French? And much more!

Book excerpt: In little more than two centuries Prussia rose from medieval obscurity and the devastation of the Thirty Years War to become the dominant power of continental Europe. Her rulers rose from Electors to Kings, and from Kings to Emperors. It is a dramatic story, and H. W. Koch fills a major gap in English-language literature with this comprehensive account. It traces the origins and rise of the Prussian state from the thirteenth century to the causes and consequences of its incorporation into the German Empire.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Prussia written by Sebastian Haffner and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebastian Haffner regarded himself as “a Prussian with a British passport.” In this overview of Prussia’s 170-year history as an independent state, he depicts Prussia’s evolution from a sensational 18th century success story – “a state based on law, one of the first in Europe” – to its absorption into the Third Reich where “the rule of law was the first thing that Hitler abolished.” In this succinct and readable book, Haffner argues that Hitler’s racial and nationality policy was the opposite of Prussia’s and Hitler’s political style, the very opposite of Prussian. “In his short book The Rise and Fall of Prussia Haffner combines a critical examination with a declaration of love for a state which always lived beyond its means ... but which managed to combine material poverty with intellectual grandeur.” — Michael Stürmer,Welt am Sonntag “Haffner sees Prussia’s history as the 'tragedy of a purely rational state'. An agglomeration of arbitrary territories, it made a virtue of its artificiality, adapting to the enlightenment and then to romanticism, but finally also to nationalism, betraying the basis of its statehood and leading to its ultimate destruction.” — Chrisian Roth,Akademische Blätter “Haffner long regarded himself as a 'Prussian with a British passport'. He identified with Prussia and its achievements: general compulsory schooling (1717), the abolition of torture (1740), the establishment of religious toleration (1740), Bismarck’s welfare state (1883), the medical giants Virchow, Koch, von Behring, the intellectual giants Kant, von Humboldt and von Schlegel, and much more. At the end of his book he recounted the (often-ignored) expulsion of millions of Prussians from their homeland in 1945. 'It was an atrocity, the final atrocity of a war which had more than its share in atrocities, admittedly begun by Germany under Hitler.' His message is very relevant today, when he praises those expelled for rejecting revenge and having the courage to say, 'This is enough.'” — David Childs, The Independent
