Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges popular conceptions of Germany's development by exploring the political geography of the German Empire between 1866-1903. The author argues that the German Empire was largely responsible for the unification of Germany, an idea widely attributed to the Zollverein. The book showcases the author's extensive knowledge of German history, and explores the misconception perpetuated by British figures like Joseph Chamberlain, who used the term Zollverein as a political tool rather than to describe the German customs union. In this book, the author argues that the Zollverein did not bring about German unity, that Germany had a complex political history before its establishment, and that Germany was a major empire long before the Zollverein was formed. Germany was an active player in international affairs, with its own Reichstag, emperors, princes, and Free Republics long before the Zollverein came to be. The author asserts that it was the German Confederation that brought Germany together as a nation, and that the Zollverein only represented one small part of a much larger picture.
