Liberal Imperialism in Germany: Expansionism and Nationalism, 1848-1884

»¡Ë¹éÒ
Berghahn Books, 1 ¡.Â. 2008 - 248 ˹éÒ

In a work based on new archival, press, and literary sources, the author revises the picture of German imperialism as being the brainchild of a Machiavellian Bismarck or the "conservative revolutionaries" of the twentieth century. Instead, Fitzpatrick argues for the liberal origins of German imperialism, by demonstrating the links between nationalism and expansionism in a study that surveys the half century of imperialist agitation and activity leading up to the official founding of Germany’s colonial empire in 1884.
