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"--Publisher's description. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 651 0 Germany |xHistory |y1871-1918. 651 0 Germany |xForeign relations |y1871-1918. 651 0 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1871-1918. 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 1871-1918 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iEbook version : |z9781139856515 852 0 |bscstacks |hDD221 |i.H556 2018
