Excerpt from Modern Germany
The Hohenzollern rulers, considering the country their property, administered it in accordance with ancient custom as if it were a huge estate. They directed absolutely, and as a rule in person, the army, the civil administration, the foreign and domestic policy of the State, industry, trade, and commerce, the Protestant and the Roman Catholic Churches, the schools, the universities, and the press. They not only controlled and directed all the activities of the State, but they moulded the character of the people and controlled the speech, thought, and action of the citizens from the cradle to the grave.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of modern Germany, tracing its rise and fall through the lens of its Prussian origins. The author argues that Prussia, a robber state founded by robber-knights, imprinted its militaristic and autocratic character upon Germany. Through a combination of violence and cunning, Prussia expanded its territory and became a formidable power under the Hohenzollern dynasty. The book explores the Hohenzollern tradition of ruthless expansion and the role of indoctrination in shaping German society. It examines the manipulation of education, religion, and the press to foster nationalism and unquestioning obedience. The author also highlights the influence of German intellectuals and scientists in promoting a cult of violence and conquest. Ultimately, the book concludes that Germany's downfall was a result of its militaristic and aggressive nature, perpetuated by the Hohenzollerns and their unwavering pursuit of power.
