  • Blut und Eisen auch im Innern’: Soziale Konflikte, Massenpolitik und Gewalt in Deutschland vor 1914

    Open AccessRoger ChickeringARTICLEGerman History2022

    Amerigo Caruso’s study originated in Padua, where he was a member of Matteo Millan’s research group on ‘The Dark Side of the Belle Époque’—a project that has focused on organized private political violence in Europe before the First World War. The subject of this work is the violence that attended strikes and other political demonstrations by the Social Democratic labour movement in Wilhelmine Germany, especially in Prussian Westphalia and the Ki…

  • C harles E. M c C lelland . Berlin, the Mother of All Research Universities: 1860–1918

    Open AccessRoger ChickeringARTICLEThe American Historical Review2019

    The University of Berlin celebrated its bicentennial in 2010. To mark the occasion, a team of scholars under the general direction of Heinz-Elmar Tenorth published six volumes on the university’s history during its first two hundred years. Three of these volumes treated institutional developments, while the other three focused on the history of the academic disciplines that were represented at the University of Berlin. The institutional volumes i…

  • The World in the Long Twentieth Century: An Interpretive History

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2019References: 4

    A global history has much to cover. It requires, as Dickinson explains, a “coherent model of the causes and effects” of global transformations, a framework that identifies “the fundamental forces and developments that have shaped world history” (1). The great virtue of Dickinson’s new study of the “long twentieth century” is to meet this challenge and to present a lucid and compelling analysis of global developments during the “long twentieth cen…

  • An Appreciation

    Open AccessRoger ChickeringARTICLECentral European History2018

    When Thomas Nipperdey died on June 14, 1992, Gerald Feldman wrote the obituary that appeared in Central European History. This document was a fitting symbol of the condition of our journal—both its strengths and weaknesses—as Ken Barkin became its editor. One distinguished historian's eulogy to another found an appropriate place here, for the journal was widely recognized as a leading forum of international exchange, a link between scholarly comm…

    Daniel Marc Segesser, Tanja Bührer et al.BOOKGlobale Machtkonflikte und Kriege2016

    Diese Festschrift ist dem Historiker Stig Förster gewidmet, der sich insbesondere in der modernen Militärgeschichte und der Imperialismusforschung einen Namen gemacht hat. Mit der Betonung globaler Prozesse und dem Einbezug außereuropäischer Akteure nahm Förster bereits zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre einige der Kernelemente der Globalgeschichte vorweg. In diesem Band werden seine beiden Forschungsgebiete durch namhafte Autorinnen und Autoren zusammen…

  • Imperial Germany and a World Without War: The Peace Movement and German Society, 1892-1914

    Roger ChickeringBOOKImperial Germany and a World…2015

    This book provides the first thorough examination of the peace movement in pre-World War I Germany, concentrating on the factors in German politics and society that account for the movement's weakness. The author draws on a wide range of documents to survey the history, organization, and ideologies of the peace groups, placing them in their social and political context. Working through schools, churches, the press, political parties, and other op…

    This book explores the impact of the First World War on Imperial Germany and examines military aspects of the conflict, as well as the diplomacy, politics, and industrial mobilization of wartime Germany. Including maps, tables, and illustrations, it also offers a rich portrait of life on the home front - the war's pervasive effects on rich and poor, men and women, young and old, farmers and city-dwellers, Protestants, Catholics, and Jews. It anal…

  • Das Jahr 1913: Ein Kommentar

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEInternationales Archiv für…2014

    This article comments on the „Themenschwerpunkt 1913“ in the past issues of IASL from a historician’s point of view. While the articles in IASL 38/1, 38/2, and the present issue have been introduced as a critical response to Florian Illies’ book 1913. Der Sommer des Jahrhunderts, this commentary describes a problem that both the book and the critical articles seem to have in common: the applot to a „Zeitgeist“

  • David Imhoof. Becoming a Nazi Town: Culture and Politics in Göttingen between the World Wars

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    Northwestern Germany has provided the setting for many important local studies of Nazism's rise to power. David Imhoof turns to the same region in his analysis of culture and politics in the university town of Göttingen. His objective is to show how popular cultural practices in the 1920s helped lay the foundations for state policies in the 1930s, or, as he writes, “how cultural activities began to turn Göttingen into a Nazi town” (p. 12). The ac…

  • Anticipating Total War: The German and American Experiences, 1871-1914

    Christof Mauch, David Lazar et al.BOOKAnticipating Total War2013

  • Alles ist Front!' Wehrwissenschaften in Deutschland und die Bellifizierung der Gesellschaft vom Ersten Weltkrieg bis in den Kalten Krieg

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEGerman History2013

    The German word ‘Wehrwissenschaften’ does not have a good English equivalent. ‘Military sciences’, ‘military disciplines’ or ‘defence studies’ are all too generic; they mask the historical connotations of the German word, the deep roots of the Wehrwissenschaften in the German radical Right during the interwar period. Frank Reichherzer’s dissertation makes this point clear. It provides a detailed account of the background, institutional origins an…

  • The Cambridge History of War

    Open AccessRoger Chickering, Dennis Showalter et al.BOOKCambridge History of War2012

    Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a definitive new account of war in the most destructive period in human history. Opening with the massive conflicts that erupted in the mid nineteenth century in the US, Asia and Europe, leading historians trace the global evolution of warfare through 'the age of mass', 'the age of machine' and 'the age of management'. They explore how industrialization and nationalism fostered vast armies whilst t…

  • Agrarideologie und Sozialreform im Deutschen Kaiserreich: Heinrich Sohnrey und der Deutsche Verein fur landliche Wohlfahrts- und Heimatpflege 1896-1914

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEGerman History2012

    The growing depopulation of rural Germany, particularly in the Prussian east, stimulated a great debate at the end of the nineteenth century. The poles in the debate, ‘agrarian state’ (Agrarstaat) and ‘industrial state’ (Industriestaat), related less to the causes of this demographic trend than to its long-term social, cultural and political implications. While the one side accepted rural depopulation as an aspect of the transition to a modern in…

    Günther Kronenbitter, Horst Heinrich Gründer et al.BOOKDas Deutsche Kaiserreich 1890-19142011

    Wilhelm II., der letzte deutsche Kaiser ist das Symbol eines Landes im Umbruch. Er prägte Politik und Gesellschaft - wurde aber noch viel mehr selber von diesen beeinflusst. Das Wilhelminische Reich verkörperte Rückwärtsgewandtheit und Moderne, Aufbruch und Stillstand gleichermaßen. Es hat daher immer wieder zu kontroversen Debatten herausgefordert. International renommierte Historiker entwerfen auf dem neuesten Forschungsstand ein differenzierte…

  • Wegbereiter Hitlers? Theodor Reismann-Grone: Ein volkischer Nationalist (1863-1949)

    Roger ChickeringARTICLEThe English Historical Review2010

    Theodor Reismann-Grone was one of the most enduring figures in the history of German radical nationalism. With Alfred Hugenberg and Heinrich Class, two other figures to whom the same characterisation applies, he was a leading figure in the Pan-German League in the Imperial era. He was then an early patron of the National Socialists in the 1920s, but became increasingly disillusioned with the movement after it took power. Like Hugenberg and Class,…

  • Militarism and radical nationalism

    Roger ChickeringCHAPTERImperial Germany 1871–19182008

    In October 1906 Wilhelm Voigt, a petty criminal who had recently been released from prison, visited several used-clothes stores in Berlin in order to piece together the uniform of a captain in the Prussian army. Attired in it, he commandeered a squad of soldiers off the street and led them into the town hall of Köpenick, a suburban district of the capital, where he placed the mayor under military arrest and ordered the cashier to hand over nearly…
