Excerpt from The German Empire of to-Day Outlines of Its Foundation and DevelopmentThe great men who laid its foundations have passed away, leaving their footprints on the sands of time. King William of Prussia, the first German Emperor, was crowned at Versailles, just before the termination of the war with France, in the presence of a brilliant assembly of German princes. He enjoyed a peaceful yet glorious reign of twenty years, during which he saw his dominions expand to unexpected dimensions. Bismarck, Moltke, von Roon, and the others have come and gone: they were Empire-makers of a stamp not easily to be found again. Fortunate it was for the German people that they were there at hand during the years when the country required just such men and the abilities that they so markedly possessed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
