	Imperial Germany: German History
		The first was between the king of Prussia and the rulers of the other German states, who agreed to accept him as the Kaiser (emperor) of a united Germany, provided they could continue to rule their states largely as they had in the past.
		The second was the agreement among many segments of German society to accept a unified Germany based on a constitution that combined a powerful authoritarian monarchy with a weak representative body, the Reichstag, elected by universal male suffrage.
		A last means of taming the Reichstag was to spread rumors of a possible coup d'etat by the army and the repeal of the constitution and universal suffrage.

	Imperial Germany
		The new Germany which was embodied in the empire that had been created at Versailles was a complex and astonishing mixture of the fresh intellectual and material forces of the world, with the narrowest political traditions of the European system.
		Germany realized that labour is a national asset, that it deteriorates through unemployment, and that, for the common good, it has to be taken care of outside the works.
		This educating, scientific, and organizing Germany was the natural development of the liberal Germany of 1848; it had its roots far back in the recuperative effort that drew its impulse from the shame of the Napoleonic conquest.

		Germany acquired some democratic features: notably the Reichstag, that in contrast to the parliament of Prussia was elected by direct and equal manhood suffrage.
		Germany lost territories to France, Belgium, and the reinstated nation of Poland, and elsewhere, and was required to pay reparations for its responsibility for the war.
		The unification of Germany was considered a model for both the successful modernization of Japan and the less successful modernization of China at the beginning of the 20th century.

	History of Germany
		Germany's so-called particularism, that is, the existence within it of many states of various sizes and kinds, such as principalities, electorates, ecclesiastical territories, and free cities, became characteristic by the early Middle Ages and persisted until 1871, when the country was finally united.
		The Magyars' westward expansion was halted by Otto in 955 at the Battle of Lechfeld in southern Germany.
		Imperial control of Italy was lost for a time, and the imperial crown became dependent on the political support of competing aristocratic factions.

		In total contrast to Germany's intristic fascination as the country which has played such a determining role in the history of the twentieth century is its otherwise predominantly romantic image.
		The imperial capital, Berlin, also stands apart, as an island in the midst of the erstwhile GDR where the liberalism of the West was pushed to its extreme, sometimes decadent, always exciting.
		In polar opposition to it, and as a corrective to the normal view of the Germans as an essentially serious race, is the Rhineland, where the great river's majestic sweep has spawned a particularly rich fund of legends and folklore, and where the locals are imbued with a Mediterranean-type sense of fun.

	History of Germany, The French Revolution and Germany
		Many members of Germany's aristocratic ruling class were opposed to national unity because they feared it would mean the disappearance of their small states into a large Germany.
		Germany's farmers had been freed to some degree from many obligations and dues owed to the landowning aristocracy, but they were often desperately poor, earning barely enough to survive.
		Germany's war aims were annexationist in nature and foresaw an enlarged Germany, with Belgium and Poland as vassal states and with colonies in Africa.

	Imperial Germany
		Germany's industrialization started with the building of railroads in the 1840s and 1850s and the subsequent development of coal mining and iron and steel production, activities that made up what is called the First Industrial Revolution.
		In Germany, the Second Industrial Revolution, that is, the growth of chemical and electrical industries, followed the enormous expansion of coal and steel production so closely that the country can be said to have experienced the two revolutions almost simultaneously.
		Germany's population also expanded rapidly, growing from 41.0 million in 1871 to 49.7 million in 1891 and 65.3 million in 1911.

	The Subjectivity of the 'Democratic' Peace: Changing U.S. Perceptions of Imperial Germany
		For Wilson and the political scientists of a century ago did not consider Germany an autocracy, did not lump the German and Russian regimes in the same category (Russia was an autocracy), and were remarkably ambivalent as to whether mass electoral processes were the substance, as opposed to "mere trappings," of effective democratic participation.
		In sum, the perception of Imperial Germany imprinted in the present coding rules is grossly colored by hindsight and by contemporary values, which in no small part became our values because of the benefit of hindsight.
		Germany may not be the only nation that underwent a substantial transformation in the American mind, for in the twentieth century America faced two other bitter enemies: Russia and Japan.

	Germany's Last Kaiser - Wilhelm II and political decision-making in Imperial Germany
		From a military point of view, the position was clear-cut: Germany would in time lose the slight advantage she currently possessed over her future enemies, and war would soon cease to be a feasible option for Germany's decision-makers.
		After the war, the victorious allies were in no doubt that Wilhelm II was personally responsible for the coming of war in 1914, and they included him on their list of war criminals wanted in connection with the atrocities of the war and the suffering that it had brought to millions of soldiers and civilians.
		Wilhelm, having fled Germany in November 1918, had been given refuge in the Netherlands and was able to stay there despite the allies' request of extradition.

		They have taken refuge with the imperial government in order to preserve, through the protection of the Prussian Army, their position as an exploiting class, which was menaced by the fair claims of labor.
		They attributed the increase of exports to the fact that Germany was now one of the most powerful nations, and that the imperial navy and army made other nations tremble before it.
		It was one of the paradoxical phenomena of imperial Germany that the Social Democratic workers used to talk sedition in public while remaining in their hearts perfectly loyal, and that the upper middle class and the professions, although flamboyantly advertising their loyalty to king and fatherland, grumbled in private.

	Amherst Magazine Winter 2003: Amherst Authors
		To be sure, the work is aimed primarily at historians of modern Germany, and it is framed by one of the major debates that they have conducted over the past 30 years.
		Another, equally vocal group of historians contends that, on the contrary, the middle classes of the Imperial era were very active and influential; but to see their efforts, one has to look below the level of national politics and examine events at the state and especially municipal levels.
		That was not surprising, given the fact that their moralizing tracts were replete with pompous sentiments and clunky sentences, like this one from 1890: “If a man wallows in the filth of impurity, his heart cannot rise to the ideals that ought to shine as the lodestars of our lives” (cited on p.

		Imperial Germany and the Great War is a masterful combination of the political, social, and cultural history of the war with the relevant military events.

		Germany mounted an impressive mobilization, one which allowed her to fight and hold off for four years most of the world's great powers who, combined, possessed resources far beyond her reach.
		However, this mobilization was never total and in the agricultural sphere it was poorly executed, which eventually led to hunger in the urban areas.

	H-Net Review: Jennifer Jenkins on Anthropology and Antihumanism in Imperial Germany
		His imaginative relocation of anthropology onto the terrain of Wilhelmine popular imperial culture is present from the beginning of the study.
		In Germany human deformities were discussed as individual pathologies, following the lead of the natural scientist and prominent anthropologist Rudolf Virchow, rather than as pieces of evidence in a Darwinian narrative connecting humanity to primate ancestors (pp.
		Human deformities were examples of individual pathologies, they believed, that were compelling for their entertainment value (Zimmerman's text abounds with cold-blooded examples of anthropologists using individual human difference/deformity as forms of entertainment); "natural peoples," in contrast, were evidence of particular human "types" that were valuable for the scientific study of humanity as a whole (pp.

		The final paper, while dealing with a subject covered in the last third of the semester, should employ a theme that transcends that particular era and belongs to the entire chronology of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Germany.
		Appropriate themes might be: nationalism; imperialism; parliamentary democracy; socialism; changing gender norms; regionalism; or industrialization.
		If the theme were German nationalism in the era 1890-1914, it would be appropriate to demonstrate the evolution of nationalism from an earlier era.

	Anderson, M.L.: Practicing Democracy: Elections and Political Culture in Imperial Germany.
		In her sweeping history of Imperial Germany's electoral culture, Anderson shows how the sudden opportunity to "practice" democracy in 1867 opened up a free space in the land of Kaisers, generals, and Junkers.
		Anderson, in fact, argues convincingly against the widely accepted notion that it was pre-war Germany's lack of democratic values and experience that ultimately led to Weimar's failure and the Third Reich.
		Practicing Democracy is a surprising reinterpretation of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Germany and will engage historians concerned with the question of Germany's "special path" to modernity; sociologists interested in obedience, popular mobilization, and civil society; political scientists debating the relative role of institutions versus culture in the transition to democracy.

		Generally regarded as the birthplace of the modern welfare state, Germany experimented with a wide variety of social programs before 1914, including the national social insurance legislation of the 1880s, the "Elberfeld" system of poor relief, protocorporatist policies, and modern forms of social work.
		Imperial Germany offers a particularly useful context in which to compare different programs at various levels of government.
