Discover how German power after 1866 reshaped Eastern Europe and the ideas that drove imperialism worldwide.
Namier offers a thoughtful, evidence-based look at how Prussia’s rise, the formation of a German empire, and the politics of the Austro-Hungarian realm influenced regional power, national identities, and international ambitions. The book traces the roots of German imperialism, analyzes the role of the Junker class, and explains why expansion in the East became a central feature of a broader world-policy narrative.
Through accessible analysis, you’ll see how policy, culture, and history intersect to shape modern ideas about empire, sovereignty, and global influence. The discussion highlights how myths about national destiny influenced real decisions on the continent and beyond.
Ideal for readers of history and political science who want a grounded, readable analysis of power, nationhood, and empire.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins by analysing the historical and political relationship between Russia and Germany through the lens of German influence in Eastern Europe. The author highlights the various strategies and motivations employed by German statesmen to maintain control over this region, primarily through their connections with the Russian government and their policies towards Poland. The complexity of this relationship comes to the fore during the 19th century, when the rise of nationalism and the influence of panslavism had a profound impact on the region. Germany's approach to these movements was largely shaped by Bismarck's belief that Russian focus on the Balkans would steer their attention away from German interests. The author contends that Germany's success in dominating Eastern Europe could not have remained inconsequential for Britain, leading to the discussion of how British intervention in the First World War became an inevitability. The book concludes by examining the impact of the war on the political landscape of Eastern Europe, arguing that the collapse of the German and Austro-Hungarian empires opened up new possibilities for national self-determination and the emergence of a more just and equitable regional order.
