The Question of German Unification

Angebote / Angebote:

The course of recent German history has been volatile. Events such as the collapse of European Communism and German reunification have brought issues of Germany's status into the arena of world politics. "The Question of German Unification" presents an introduction to the last two centuries of German history and addresses questions raised by the status of Germany as a single or split national state, arguing that Germany has fluctuated frequently and catastrophically between being the power center of Europe or a power vacuum. Describing the special features of German history, this volume looks at Germany within a European context. Long-term structures and processes are evaluated along with discussion of recent political events. Reflecting on the irrationalities of German history, Imanuel Geiss surveys how they have been explained by historians, and provides a succinct and readable account of the complex issues involved.
