The German Empire was founded in January 1871 not only on the basis
of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's "blood and iron" policy but also
with the support of liberal nationalists. Under Bismarck and Kaiser
Wilhelm II, Germany became the dynamo of Europe. Its economic and
military power were pre-eminent; its science and technology,
education, and municipal administration were the envy of the world;
and its avant-garde artists reflected the ferment in European
culture. But Germany also played a decisive role in tipping
Europe's fragile balance of power over the brink and into the
cataclysm of the First World War, eventually leading to the
empire's collapse in military defeat and revolution in November
1918.
With contributions from an international team of twelve experts in
the field, this volume offers an ideal introduction to this crucial
era, taking care to situate Imperial Germany in the larger sweep of
modern German history, without suggesting that Nazism or the
Holocaust were inevitable endpoints to the developments charted
here.
