Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anglo-German Problem The book of which a new and popular edition is now presented to the American public has very little in common with the thousand and one war publications which are distracting the attention of a bewildered and satiated reader. It was not compiled in feverish haste since the war began. It was written years before the war and represents the outcome of two decades of study and travel in Germany. The volume was first published in 1912 to dispel the false sense of security which was blinding European opinion to the imminent perils ahead, to warn Britain of the appalling catastrophe towards which all nations were drifting, and to give an accurate estimate of the forces that were making for war. I attempted to prove that Germany and not Britain or France or Russia was the storm-centre of international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Panic The Cobden Club desire me to write a preface to this interesting essay of Mr. Hobson. Some part of it seems to call in question the recent policy of the British Govern ment, which indeed will be finally judged only when, in time to come, the facts are all known and motives both at home and abroad are fully disclosed. In any case, com ment or criticism on this part of the subject would be obviously improper from one who has been a member of the Cabinet. I wish very heartily to acknowledge the fidelity with which Mr. Hobson has handled some of the permanent difficulties which must always beset any Ad ministration in this country under the conditions of to-day. The zeal of the Naval and Military Services in all countries, whose duty it is to see that nations are not caught unprepared, the pressure of inventors and con tractors for the engines and materials of war, of the Press which they control, and of the Press which neither they nor anyone else can control, are constant in uences in producing international unrest. But of themselves they do not account for the uneasy feeling which has existed for some time about our position with Germany.

Download or read book Anglo German Scholarly Networks in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Heather Ellis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglo-German Scholarly Networks in the Long Nineteenth Century explores the complex and shifting connections between scientists and scholars in Britain and Germany from the late eighteenth century to the interwar years. Based on the concept of the transnational network in both its informal and institutional dimensions, it deals with the transfer of knowledge and ideas in a variety of fields and disciplines. Furthermore, it examines the role which mutual perceptions and stereotypes played in Anglo-German collaboration. By placing Anglo-German scholarly networks in a wider spatial and temporal context, the volume offers new frames of reference which challenge the long-standing focus on the antagonism and breakdown of relations before and during the First World War. Contributors include Rob Boddice, John Davis, Peter Hoeres, Hilary Howes, Gregor Pelger, Pascal Schillings, Angela Schwarz, Tara Windsor.
Download or read book Essentials of German Classic Reprint written by Bert John Vos and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of German As its name implies, the present work aims to present and instil those facts of the German language which are essen tial for the reading of connected texts. At a time when so many of the latter have been edited with a special view to the needs of beginners, the use of an introductory lesson book would seem to possess distinct advantages over that of an extended grammar. The writer makes no apology for the lack of completeness of grammatical statement, his conviction being that a thorough mastery of the leading facts and principles is of far greater value to the beginner than a passing acquaintance with a mass of details. The chief emphasis has accordingly fallen on the practical side of the subject; in the theoretic part clearness rather than fulness of statement has been the end in view. An effort has been made throughout to set a task that should be within the reach of the average pupil. Especial pains have been taken to limit the vocabulary to words of common occurrence. That the pupil should develop a feel ing for German construction and word arrangement is far more essential than that he should at the outset have an extensive vocabulary at his command. The ability of the average pupil to assimilate a large number of new words with each successive lesson has frequently been overrated.

Download or read book Keeping Up With the Germans written by Philip Oltermann and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match between England and Germany, Philip Oltermann's parents tell him that they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind and move to London. Inspired by his own experience of both countries, Philip Oltermann looks at eight historical encounters between English and German people from the last two hundred years: Helmut Kohl tries to explain German cuisine to the Iron Lady, the Mini plays catch-up with the Volkswagen Beetle, and Joe Strummer has an unlikely brush with the Baader-Meinhof gang. Keeping Up with the Germans is a witty look at the lighter-side of Anglo-German relations over the last 100 years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great and Greater Britain: The Problems of Motherland and Empire, Political, Naval, Military, Industrial, Financial, Social A book entitled Great and Greater Britain - The Problems of Motherland and Empire, ' cannot treat all British national and Imperial problems in detail, especially when the writer has dealt in previous publications with some of these problems. I would therefore indicate some of the limitations of this volume. Socialism is on everybody's lips. Yet I have not discussed it in the following pages because I have treated this subject exhaustively in my book British Socialism.' Germany's political, naval, and economic com petition is of great and constantly growing importance to Great Britain and the Empire. I have carefully considered anglo-german relations in this book, but I have not gone very deeply into German naval and economic affairs because I have treated these very fully in my book Modern Germany.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Politics and British PoliticsAfter having declared thus clearly and emphatically his policy with regard to the conflicting interests of Austria and Russia, he made the briefest reference to Germany's relations with Italy and England, which he declared were of so friendly a nature that they need not be taken at all into consideration in discussing the military question.' Then Bismarck came to the pith of 'his speech, the relations of Germany and France. It was in these, he said, that the real necessity for the strength ehing of the army lay. He was of opinion, he said, that the historic process - so he called it euphemistically - Which had gone on for 300 years between France and them was not ended and that they must be prepared to see it continued from the French side.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Germany Will Be Defeated: By a Prussian (for Over Twenty-Five Years a Naturalized British Subject) I AM well aware that in the present state of public-feeling the words of a man of German nationality, however sincere his aim and purpose may be, have little prospect of meeting with attention and acceptance on the part of the English people. He could not hope, by any mere statement on paper, to create in them a conviction of his loyalty and integrity or persuade them that the stand point from which he is writing is one far removed from all considerations of nationality and of party feeling. It is evident, on the other hand, that no kind of literature is likely to attract serious attention at the present time which does not deal with the immediate causes of the war, with the various painful incidents in that terrific conflict, and with the question as to what its ultimate issues are likely to be. It is but natural that at a time when the destiny of nations is trembling in the balance, and when every heart is torn by hopes and fears, the momentous present should engage the attention to the exclusion of every other matter of human concern and interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Germany This book is not entirely a product of the Great War. The Anglo-German problem first came under my notice some years ago, when I was an undergraduate at Oxford. A beneficiary of the Rhodes Trust, I was imbued with the idea of Anglo-Saxon solidarity, to promote which Cecil Rhodes founded the scholarships which bear his name. But, instead of harmony, I found discord. Some of my Oxford friends were members of the British Navy League, and from them I learned that the German navy was regarded as a menace to England's traditional supremacy of the seas. When I travelled in Germany I encountered considerable animosity to England in several places, and I saw little banks, in the shape of war-ships, which tempted patriotic Germans to make contributions for the propaganda of the German Navy League. At every turn one was made conscious of this rivalry between two kindred nations, each of which professed to fear the aggressive intentions of the other. The most contradictory statements were heard, and the stranger was at a loss to comprehend them. In time, as I studied the problem, I collected a quantity of material from different sources and of varying value: this book is the result. I have used very sparingly the voluminous literature which has appeared since the war began, except, of course, the official documents published by the belligerent governments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Who's Who" In Hunland: A Glossary of the Persons, Issues, Places and Things We Read About in Germany Since the beginning of the war I have edited a column in The Daily Mail, entitled Germany Day by Day. It is a chronological digest of life and times in that country, based on regular reading of its principal newspapers. Hardly a week passes without bringing to my desk requests from mem bers of the public for more detailed information on various German topics. If my correspondence is a fair criterion, there is a lively demand for fuller knowledge of the persons, issues, places and things with which, although constantly mentioned, British newspaper readers are necessarily familiar only in a general way. It is in response to this unmistakable manifesta tion of abiding interest in the Germans and all their works that I have ventured to compile this unpretentious volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Command of the Sea: Some Problems of Imperial Defence Considered in the Light of the German Navy Act The German Navy Law Amendment Act was passed by the Reichstag on May 21st. This is the last of the five enactments for the expansion of the German Fleet, and it is the most notable and menacing to her neighbours. It is proposed to add only three large ships, two cruisers and seventy-two submarines to the "established strength" of the fleet, but the grave feature of the Act consists in the resolve to set up a new standard of naval efficiency. For many years all nations in the interest of economy kept a large proportion of their men-of-war in reserve. Under the impetus of Germany the tendency of administrations has lately been to achieve rapid action - quick transition from the conditions of peace to those of hostilities. Now the German naval authorities have taken a further step in the same direction, which must impose on Europe the burden of war in times of peace. In future, within four hundred miles of the British Isles, all the most effective ships of the German Navy - battleships, cruisers and torpedo craft - will be held on the leash - manned, stored, victualled and incessantly trained.

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 26 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.

Download or read book Dreadnought written by Robert K. Massie and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 1076 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping chronicle of the personal and national rivalries that led to the twentieth century’s first great arms race, from Pulitzer Prize winner Robert K. Massie With the biographer’s rare genius for expressing the essence of extraordinary lives, Massie brings to life a crowd of glittery figures: the single-minded Admiral von Tirpitz; the young, ambitious Winston Churchill; the ruthless, sycophantic Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow; Britain’s greatest twentieth-century foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey; and Jacky Fisher, the eccentric admiral who revolutionized the British navy and brought forth the first true battleship, the H.M.S. Dreadnought. Their story, and the story of the era, filled with misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and events leading to unintended conclusions, unfolds like a Greek tragedy in this powerful narrative. Intimately human and dramatic, Dreadnought is history at its most riveting. Praise for Dreadnought “Dreadnought is history in the grand manner, as most people prefer it: how people shaped, or were shaped by, events.”—Time “A classic [that] covers superbly a whole era . . . engrossing in its glittering gallery of characters.”—Chicago Sun-Times “[Told] on a grand scale . . . Massie [is] a master of historical portraiture and anecdotage.”—The Wall Street Journal “Brilliant on everything he writes about ships and the sea. It is Massie’s eye for detail that makes his nautical set pieces so marvelously evocative.”—Los Angeles Times
