Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Bismarck's greatness as a statesman and his imperishable services to Prussia and Germany are historical facts of such tremendous significance that there is doubtless no man in existence, whatever his party affiliations, who would dare to place them in question. For this very reason alone it is stupid to accuse me of not having recognized the greatness of Prince Bismarck. The opposite is the truth. I revered and idolized him. Nor could it be otherwise. It should be borne in mind with what generation I grew up—the generation of the devotees of Bismarck. He was the creator of the German Empire, the paladin of my grandfather, and all of us considered him the greatest statesman of his day and were proud that he was a German. Bismarck was the idol in my temple, whom I worshiped. But monarchs also are human beings of flesh and blood, hence they, too, are exposed to the influences emanating from the conduct of others; therefore, looking at the matter from a human point of view, one will understand how Prince Bismarck, by his fight against me, himself destroyed, with heavy blows, the idol of which I have spoken. But my reverence for Bismarck, the great statesman, remained unaltered. While I was still Prince of Prussia I often thought to myself: "I hope that the great Chancellor will live for many years yet, since I should be safe if I could govern with him." But my reverence for the great statesman was not such as to make me take upon my own shoulders, when I became Emperor, political plans or actions of the Prince which I considered mistakes. Even the Congress of Berlin in 1878 was, to my way of thinking, a mistake, likewise the "Kulturkampf." Moreover, the constitution of the Empire was drawn up so as to fit in with Bismarck's extraordinary preponderance as a statesman; the big cuirassier boots did not fit every man. Then came the labor-protective legislation. I most deeply deplored the dispute which grew out of this, but, at that time, it was necessary for me to take the road to compromise, which has generally been my road both on domestic and foreign politics. For this reason I could not wage the open warfare against the Social Democrats which the Prince desired. Nevertheless, this quarrel about political measures cannot lessen my admiration for the greatness of Bismarck as a statesman; he remains the creator of the German Empire, and surely no one man need have done more for his country than that. Owing to the fact that the great matter of unifying the Empire was always before my eyes, I did not allow myself to be influenced by the agitations which were the commonplaces of those days. In like manner, the fact that Bismarck was called the majordomo of the Hohenzollerns could not shake my trust in the Prince, although he, perhaps, had thoughts of a political tradition for his family. As evidence of this, he felt unhappy, for instance, that his son Bill felt no interest in politics and wished to pass on his power to Herbert.

Download or read book The Kaiser and His Times written by Michael Balfour and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the consequences for Germany, and the world, that William II was Kaiser at the onset of the 'Great War'? In The Kaiser and His Times (first published in 1964), Michael Balfour analyzes the social, constitutional, and economic forces at work in imperial Germany, and sets the complex and disputed character of the Kaiser, who occupied such a central position in the three decades before 1918, in the context of his family background and the history of Germany. '[Balfour] has borne in mind the Kaiser's own request to the head of his military Secretariat - 'Not dry reports only, please, but now and then a funny story.' The circumstances that allowed to Kaiser to live as if 'The greater part of his life... was illusion' would make comic reading if the results had not been so tragic...' Kirkus Review

This book was released on 2023-08-12 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marquise de Fontenoy's 'The Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Europe: William II, Germany; Francis Joseph, Austria-Hungary' offers readers a captivating glimpse into the inner workings of two powerful European courts during the late 19th century. Written in a detailed and descriptive style, this book provides a rich literary context for understanding the political dynamics and social customs of the time. Fontenoy's keen observations and intimate accounts offer a unique perspective on the history of Europe, making this work a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts alike. As a well-connected socialite and confidante to many prominent figures, Marquise de Fontenoy had privileged access to the courts of William II and Francis Joseph, inspiring her to record their secret memoirs. Her firsthand experiences and insider knowledge lend credibility to the narrative, giving readers an authentic and immersive reading experience. Fontenoy's expertise in court etiquette and diplomatic affairs shines through in this meticulously researched account. I highly recommend 'The Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Europe' to readers interested in European history, royal intrigues, and political dramas. Fontenoy's vivid storytelling and historical insights make this book a compelling read that sheds light on the hidden truths of European courts.
