In 2013, Germany celebrated the bicentennial of the so-called Wars
of Liberation (1813 1815). These wars were the culmination of the
Prussian struggle against Napoleon between 1806 and 1815, which
occupied a key position in German national historiography and
memory. Although these conflicts have been analyzed in thousands of
books and articles, much of the focus has been on the military
campaigns and alliances. Karen Hagemann argues that we cannot
achieve a comprehensive understanding of these wars and their
importance in collective memory without recognizing how the
interaction of politics, culture, and gender influenced these
historical events and continue to shape later recollections of
them. She thus explores the highly contested discourses and
symbolic practices by which individuals and groups interpreted
these wars and made political claims, beginning with the period
itself and ending with the centenary in 1913."
