Goodbye to all that (again)? The Fischer thesis, the new revisionism and the meaning of the First World War
What is the truth about the nature of the First World War and why have historians been unable to agree on its origins? The interpretation that no one country was to blame prevailed until the 1960s when a bitter international controversy, sparked by the work of the Hamburg historian Fritz Fischer, arrived at the consensus that the Great War had been a bid for world power by imperial Germany and therefore a conflict in which Britain had necessarily…
Wilhelm II: Into the Abyss of War and Exile, 1900–1941
This final volume of John Röhl's acclaimed biography of Kaiser Wilhelm II reveals the Kaiser's central role in the origins of the First World War. The book examines the Kaiser's part in the Boer War, the Russo-Japanese War, the naval arms race with Britain and Germany's rivalry with the United States as well as in the crises over Morocco, Bosnia and Agadir. It also sheds new light on the public scandals which accompanied his reign from the allega…
Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Concise Life
Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859–1941) is one of the most fascinating figures in European history, ruling Imperial Germany from his accession in 1888 to his enforced abdication in 1918 at the end of the First World War. In one slim volume, John Röhl offers readers a concise and accessible survey of his monumental three-volume biography of the Kaiser and his reign. The book sheds new light on Wilhelm's troubled youth, his involvement in social and politica…

Wilhelm II.: Der Aufbau der Persönlichen Monarchie 1888-1900
Mit der Thronbesteigung Wilhelms II. im Juni 1888 beginnt die für Deutschland unheilvolle Phase der Persönlichen Monarchie. Weitgehend ungetrübt von Sachkenntnis in diplomatischen Gepflogenheiten und von Nachdenklichkeit unangekränkelt, poltert der junge deutsche Kaiser über das sensible Feld der Außenpolitik. Ungeschicklichkeit im Umgang mit dem russischen Zaren und Grobheit gegenüber dem englischen Königshaus kennzeichnen die Anfänge des herrsc…
The Kaiser and his Court: Wilhelm II and the Government of Germany
Kaiser Wilhelm II, Queen Victoria's eldest grandchild, took over the running of the powerful German Reich from Bismarck and within a couple of decades had led it into world war and collapse. How did the Kaiser come to have so much power? Why was there no one to help him steer a less disastrous course? This book analyses these crucial questions with the help of a wealth of new archival sources. The book begins with a character-sketch of the Kaiser…

V. Admiral von Müller and the Approach of War, 1911–1914
The storm over Fritz Fischer's study of German aims in the First World War seems to be abating at last. Even in Germany, where the process of readjustment has understandably been painful, few historians would now dispute Fischer's conclusions on the war aims themselves, though the secondary argument on Bethmann Hollweg's role in their formulation continues. More surprising still is the growing acceptance of Fischer's position on the origins of th…

Higher Civil Servants in Germany, 1890–1900
In the last two or three decades of the nineteenth century, the scope of governmental activity began to increase at an unprecedented rate in the advanced countries of Europe and North America. As it did so, as governments came to intervene more and more in the day-to-day lives of individuals, demands for a thorough reform of recruitment methods to the higher branches of the civil service grew more insistent. In Britain, France, and the United Sta…
IV. The Disintegration of the Kartell and the Politics of Bismarck's Fall from Power, 1887–90
Ever since the First World War, but especially during the Weimar period, Bismarck's dismissal has exercised a strong attraction on German historians, and has probably received more attention than any other event in the history of the Second Reich. In the troubled post-war years, 20 March 1890 seemed to stand out prominently as the fateful turning point of Germany's history.
