Germany's Drive to the West (Drang Nach Westen)
Originally published in 1950. Hans Gatzke analyzes Germany's ambitions to expand westward during World War I.

They discuss the Reichstag's place in the past and the future, the memories of ordinary people whose lives have been caught up in its ...

At the end of the Second World War, the first unified German state collapsed, a disintegration with European and global ramifications. Ever since, historians have sought to explain what went wrong in German history. Many have focused on the violence which forged unification; others have highlighted the clash of authoritarian, anti-democratic, and anti-Semitic traditions with rapid industrialization and modernization. Germany, 1871-1945 presents a pragmatic interpretation of German history, from the unification to the end of the Nazi regime. This more ...
