About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1914. Presumed first U.S. edition/first printing. Hardcover. Good.. 342 p. Frontis. Occasional footnotes. Cover has some wear and soiling. Front board somewhat weak, restrengthened with glue. Bernhard Heinrich Karl Martin von Bülow (3 May 1849 - 28 October 1929), created Fürst von Bülow in 1905, was a German statesman who served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for three years and then as Chancellor of the German Empire from 1900 to 1909. Bülow also held a seat in the Prussian government. As Foreign Secretary, Bülow was chiefly responsible for carrying out the policy of colonial expansion with which the emperor was identified. Prince (Fürst) von Bülow, was a German statesman who served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for three years and then as Chancellor of the German Empire from 1900 to 1909. For his services to the state Prince von Bülow was awarded the Order of the Black eagle, set in diamonds. He pursued a policy of aggrandizement in the years preceding World War One. An interesting history of Imperial Germany covering national and party history as well as economic policy and International Relations. Starting on page 45 is an interesting discussion of "The Peaceful Aims of German World Policy." On page 46, von Bulow asserts that "Of all the nations of the world the Germans are the people that have most rarely set out to attack and conquer. If we except the expeditions against Rome, led by the German Emperors in the Middle Ages, which originated rather in a grand if mistaken political illusion than in love of battle and conquest, we shall seek in vain in our past for wars of conquest that may be compared with those of France in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, those of Spain under the Hapsburgs, of Sweden in her best days, or those of the Russian and British Empires in the course of their fundamentally expansionist national policy.
