European Alliances and Alignments, 1871-1890

William L. Langer

4.9/5 (9709 ratings)

Description:THIS book, the like of which does not exist in any language, is an effort to present the evolution of the European states system, and to show how individual leadership, together with strong economic, nationalistic and military currents, welded the major powers first into the great combination known as the Bismarckian system and then into rival Triple Alliance and Triple Entente. The author takes full account of the influence of strategic considerations, of imperialistic pressure, and of literary movements as expressed in nationalist and racial doctrines, He pays particular attention throughout to the movements of public opinion, and assesses the importance of this elusive power in the formulation of foreign policy.Professor Langer has been able to deal with his great subject in something approaching a definitive manner. He has made full use of the various collections of documentary material, including the recently published French documents, as well as the innumerable secondary studies and the monographic researches of English, French, German, Italian, and Russian scholars. Our knowledge of this whole period has been revolutionized by the publications of the last decade, which have rendered most of the older books practically worthless. The bibliographical notes, appended to the various chapters, taken together, form the only comprehensive critical survey of the literature of the subject available in any language.All in all, this is a contribution of the first importance and one of which American scholarship may well be proud.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
