The Origins of Modern Germany

The Origins of Modern Germany

â€œNo one is likely to underrate the importance for the rest of Europeâ€•and, indeed, for world historyâ€•of the German reaction, beginning in the days of Bismarck, to the crisis of modern industrial capitalism,â€ writes Professor Barraclough, â€œbut the peculiar character of that reaction is only comprehensible in the light of Germanyâ€™s past. Factors deeply rooted in German history . . . constituted an iron framework, a mold within which were cast all German efforts, from 1870 to 1939, to cope with the problems of modern capitalist society.â€
The turbulent history of Germany up to World War II has its roots in a thousand years, from the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 A. D. to hegemony and subsequent foundation of medieval Germany, to the rise of Prussian power under Bismarck. Goeffrey Barracloughâ€™s classic work of historiography deals with this complex millennium with unmatched authority and depth of knowledge.
