Description
Eva Bischoff's Imperialism in Modern German History is the first comprehensive, English-language exploration of the history of German imperialism. It follows German colonial aspirations from their imaginary beginnings in the 1880s through to the plans of the Nazi regime to create a territorial empire in Eastern Europe and the lingering colonial legacies of postcolonial Germany in the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition, the volume introduces its readers to key aspects of research debates centring on class, race, sexuality and Nazism that shape the way historians see German imperialism today.
Examining Germany's past from a transnational and global perspective, this is a vital text for all students of modern German history and the history of European empires.
