Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the many reasons behind our negative perception of Germany during the First World War and beyond. The author asserts that negative feelings towards Germany, though natural, were not rationally justified because their causes were largely accidental. The author traces the origins of the anti-German sentiment to the perceived guilt of the German government, their manner of initiating war, and the atrocities committed by German soldiers. However, the author argues these were not unusual acts in war and that similar actions were committed by the Allied forces. While Germany supplied most of the immediate causation, England supplied the greater share of remote causes, of diplomatic conditions, to the engendering of the war. The author concludes by arguing that the true cause for our feelings toward Germany is the extreme nationalism that was rampant in all countries at that time, which led to the identification of self with the nation and an adoration of the self under the guise of an altruistic passion, a weakness which we see in every nation at some point in their history.
