The German Empire before 1914 had the fastest growing economy in
Europe and was the strongest military power in the world. Yet it
appeared, from a reading of many contemporaries' accounts, to be
lagging behind other nation-states and to be losing the race to
divide up the rest of the globe. This book is an ambitious
re-assessment of how Wilhelmine Germans conceived of themselves and
the German Empire's place in the world in the lead-up to the First
World War. Mark Hewitson re-examines the varying forms of national
identification, allegiance and politics following the creation and
consolidation of a German nation-state in light of contemporary
debates about modernity, race, industrialization, colonialism and
military power. Despite the new claims being made for the
importance of empire to Germany's development, he reveals that the
majority of transnational networks and contemporaries' interactions
and horizons remained intra-European or transatlantic rather than
truly global.
