The First World War marked the end point of a process of German
globalization that began in the 1870s, well before Germany acquired
a colonial empire or extensive overseas commercial interests.
Structured around the figures of five influential economists who
shaped the German political landscape, Learning Empire explores how
their overseas experiences shaped public perceptions of the world
and Germany's place in it. These men helped define a German liberal
imperialism that came to influence the 'world policy' (Weltpolitik)
of Kaiser Wilhelm, Chancellor Bulow, and Admiral Tirpitz. They
devised naval propaganda, reshaped Reichstag politics, were
involved in colonial and financial reforms, and helped define the
debate over war aims in the First World War. Looking closely at
German worldwide entanglements, Learning Empire recasts how we
interpret German imperialism, the origins of the First World War,
and the rise of Nazism, inviting reflection on the challenges of
globalization in the current century.
