Pre-World War I Germany
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Germany at the turn of the 20th century and the various issues confronting it prior to World War I. The international rivalries of European nations, the brewing revolution in Russia, the changes taking place in all nations but especially those of the Western world were proving to have a significant impact on Germany. Germany’s out-of-date ruling classes were, for the most part, unable to accept the emergence of a new political mindset of the time. Bismarck’s “Realpolitik,” Wilhelm II’s “Weltpolitik,” and the July Crisis of 1914 demonstrates an understanding of the fact that the various maneuvers being made by the German government were more directly related to the actual advancements of a single nation rather than any attempt to establish a dominance or parity with other European nations.
