A Political History of Contemporary Europe since 1814. Vol. I

Author(s): Charles Seignobos / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 1901

The task in hand, then, is to explain the political transformations of contemporary Europe during this period of eighty years. Being unable to deal with the whole movement of European civilization within the period, I have purposely confined myself to the political history. I have avoided all social phenomena that have had no direct effect on political life: art, science, literature, religion, private manners, and customs. I have sought chiefly to make clear the formation, composition, tactics, and policies of the parties, as being the capital facts determining the fate of institutions. But I have not thought it possible to limit political history to an account of strictly political events and institutions. Aiming above all to explain the phenomena by showing how they are connected with each other, I have reserved room for some non-political facts: local administration, the army, the church, the schools, the press, political theories, economic systems—in all cases in which they have reacted on political life.

Das Nationalitätenproblem. Eine politische Studie über die Polenfrage und die Zukunft Österreich-Ungarns

Author(s): Walther Schücking / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 1908

TEXT IS PRINTED IN GERMAN FRAKTURA, TO BE READ ONLY BY READERS BEING FAMILIAR WITH THIS FONT!! // Since 1931 until his death (1935) the author has been the first and only German judge at the Permanent Court of International Justice in The Hague. // From his introduction: „The following study aims to put one of the most important questions of day-to-day politics in the light of science in a generally understandable form for a larger audience. The glaring light that falls on the aberrations of our reactionary nationalists will at first startle some patriotic readers. However, this reader should have long since become puzzled when he sees the French nationalists rightly portrayed in his "national” daily newspaper as a backward group and when he reads about the atrocities of the Union of Genuine Russian People. Isn't it just a gradual difference in injustice, based on the diversity of culture, between killing or expropriating political opponents? The following pages try to explain the effects of the nationalistic disease on us. May then the wonderful word from the Bible come true: "The truth will make you free".” // Booklet published in 1908 in Dresden by v. Zahn & Jaensch Publisher.

Ist wirklich Friede?

Author(s): David Lloyd George / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 1924

The individual chapters of the book, which appears here in German translation, were largely published by Lloyd George as newspaper articles towards the end of 1922 and in the first half of 1923. They clearly bear the signs of their creation; In many cases its subject matter is so much history that the lively polemics with which the author treats it may appear outdated. However, the careful reader will find that this is by no means the case. The same problems with which the author is grappling, the correct solution of which he is passionately trying to present to the European public, are still to be decided today and are of particular interest today. This applies above all to the French Ruhr policy and the reparations question. The tendency of the recently published French Yellow Book is refuted here in advance. // German edition published in Leipzig, 1924 by Paul List Verlag
