Still more amazing is that the country has gone from international pariah and home of the Holocaust to one of the most well-regarded and humanitarian nations on Earth. Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include: The intrigue and wars of the famous "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck and how his political maneuverings united the German states into one The bizarre upbringing and strident personality of Kaiser Wilhelm II The rise of Germany to world power between 1871 and 1914 The reasons for Germany entering World War One The German experience of World War One and its startling defeat The Versailles Treaty and why it was hated by most Germans The horrible hyperinflation of the early 1920s when the German government printed 100-billion mark notes that were worthless Anti-Semitism in Germany and Europe The wild culture of Weimar Berlin The rise of Hitler and why it happened Hitler's Germany and WWII The post-war division of Germany The Berlin Wall The reunification of Germany in 1989 and more Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include: The Early History of Germania The Barbarian Leaders The Merovingians and the Carolingians The Holy Roman Empire The Reformation The Thirty Years' War The Age of Enlightenment Napoleon and the Revolution in Germany The Many Wars and the Unification World War I World War II Modern Germany And much, much more!

Book Description
Who exactly are the Germans? From which ancestor of Noah do they descend? Might their roots be found in the ancient Middle East? Does the Bible - God's precious Word - have anything to say with regard to the very talented German peoples and their ancient roots? Or does God ignore major nations such as Germany in His Word? These fascinating and highly talented people have been central to world history. Notice a chilling comment in an article on Russia by Peter Zeihan: "... history really does run in cycles. Take Europe for example. European history is a chronicle of the rise and fall of its geographic center. As Germany rises, the powers on its periphery buckle under its strength and are forced to pool resources in order to beat back Berlin. As Germany falters, the power vacuum at the middle of the Continent allows the countries on Germany's borders to rise in strength and become major powers themselves. Since the formation of the first "Germany" in 800, this cycle has set the tempo and tenor of European affairs. A strong Germany means consolidation followed by a catastrophic war; a weak Germany creates a multilateral concert of powers and multistate competition (often involving war, but not on nearly as large a scale). For Europe this cycle of German rise and fall has run its course three times -- the Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany -- and is only now entering its fourth iteration with the reunified Germany".

Book Description
The rich history of encounters prior to World War I between people from German-speaking parts of Europe and people of African descent has gone largely unnoticed in the historical literature-not least because Germany became a nation and engaged in colonization much later than other European nations. This volume presents intersections of Black and German history over eight centuries while mapping continuities and ruptures in Germans' perceptions of Blacks. Juxtaposing these intersections demonstrates that negative German perceptions of Blackness proceeded from nineteenth-century racial theories, and that earlier constructions of "race" were far more differentiated. The contributors present a wide range of Black–German encounters, from representations of Black saints in religious medieval art to Black Hessians fighting in the American Revolutionary War, from Cameroonian children being educated in Germany to African American agriculturalists in Germany's protectorate, Togoland. Each chapter probes individual and collective responses to these intercultural points of contact.
