Excerpt from The New Map of Europe (1911-1914): The Story of the Recent European Diplomatic Crises and Wars and of Europe's Present Catastrophe
ON a July day in 1908, two American students, who had chosen to spend the first days of their honeymoon in digging the musty pamphleteers of the figure out of the Bodleian Library, were walking along the High Street in Oxford, when their attention was arrested by the cry of a newsboy. A halfpenny invested in a London newspaper gave them the news that Niazi bey had taken to the Macedonian Highlands, and that a revolution was threatening to overthrow the Absolutist régime of Abdul Hamid. The Sixteenth century was forgotten in the absorbing and compelling interest of the twentieth.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This insightful historical work examines the complex evolution of Germany's relations with its neighbors during a period of rapid industrialization and the rise of imperialism. The author shows how Germany's desire for colonies and its ambitions to play a major role in world affairs led to tensions with France, Russia, and Great Britain, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of World War I. Along the way, the author delves into the ideological underpinnings of German expansionism, including the belief in German racial superiority and the mission to civilize the world, as well as the impact of social and economic factors on Germany's foreign policy. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the causes of the First World War, shedding light on the complex interplay of nationalism, imperialism, and ideology in shaping international relations.
