Disraeli claimed that no country suffered more from the foundation
of the German Reich than England. Bismarck's empire of 1871 did
not, however, strike like a bolt from the blue. The question of
German unity had been brewing for decades. Britain and the Germany
Question reconstructs the way Victorians pictured the pre-history
of the Reich from the July Revolution of 1830 until the eve of the
'Wars of German Unification'. It scrutinises how Britain's foreign
political establishment - the diplomats, journalists and
politicians who informed, determined and executed British foreign
policy - analysed and responded to the Germans' search for a
reformed, united and powerful nation state. It lays bare British
interests, preconceptions and preoccupations and explains what kind
of united Germany Britain would have welcomed. The book thus
illuminates three themes crucial to our understanding of
nineteenth-century Europe: the international repercussions of
German nationalism; Britain's attitude to continental politics; and
the interlocking of liberalism, nationalism revolution and reform.
