At its core is the following question: how ‘German‘ was the imperial German army? This army, which emerged from the Wars of Unification in 1871, has commonly been seen as the ‘school of the nation‘. After all – so this argument goes – tens of thousands of young men passed through its ranks each year, with conscripts undergoing an intense program of patriotic education and returning to civilian life as fervent German nationalists and ardent supporters of the German emperor, or Kaiser. This book reexamines this assumption. It does not deny that devotion to the Fatherland and loyalty to the Kaiser were widespread among German soldiers in the decades following unification. It nevertheless shows that the imperial German army was far less homogenous and far more faction-ridden than has hitherto been acknowledged. | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Wars of Unification; Otto von Bismarck; Kings of Bavaria, Saxony, and Württemberg; Kaiserreich; First Wo | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-22863-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-22865-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-22863-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
