铁与血：德意志帝国的兴亡（1871—1918）
(germany) Katja Hoyer
The German Empire, born in 1871, only had a 48-year history, but it gave birth to modern Germany and made it one of the powerful countries in Europe and even the world. This changed the historical pattern of Europe and continues to this day. The German national soul cultivated in the war against Napoleon in the early 19th century took root and sprouted in the past half century. From the independent state of each state at the beginning of the founding of the country to the "all people defending Germany" when the "World War I" broke out, the national spirit left a deep imprint on the history and memory of the German people. The historical legacy of the German Empire does not end there. The rise of Germany, which seized the opportunity of the emerging industrial revolution and successfully achieved an economic leap, provided the modern world with a development example of a great power that was very different from the rise of other Western European countries through colonial expansion. Bismarck's flexible adjustment of the market mechanism and the construction of the welfare security system under the strategy of real politics also made the German Empire synonymous with economic prosperity, high national prestige, and strong military power. The glory and glory of the "Founding Era" have not faded for more than a hundred years. This book attempts to tell the short history of this iron-blooded empire from its founding in 1871 to its fall and disintegration after the First World War. It abandons stereotypes and re-examines the historical situation and mental journey of the empire's helmsmen - from the empire's founder, the "Iron-blooded Chancellor" Bismarck, to the "puppet emperor" Wilhelm II who led Germany on the road to destruction.
