More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Many accounts of German unification focus on war, diplomacy and Bismarck and on the crucial ten years up to 1871. John Breuilly, in addition to paying attention to those issues extends the analysis back to 1800. He also takes into account social, economic and cultural developments, bringing to the reader's attention recent research, much of it in German. In particular, the book argues that one should see unification as just one possible outcome of the German situation, the result of rapid shifts in the relative power of different European states and of underlying changes which made nationality a more vital force in politics.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Breuilly's history of the nineteenth-century German unification, or rather, in a nod to contingency, of the formation of the first German nation-state, is impressive for its combination of brevity and comprehensiveness. Breuilly looks at cultural and diplomatic contexts, at the formation process, and at the result. His book is devoid of jargon. And with a chapter on historiography, maps, tables, and a chronology, it is unbeatable for anyone looking for a succinct but complete account.
