Germany Since 1740 is a historical book written by George Madison Priest and published in 1915. The book provides a comprehensive account of Germany's history from the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. It covers the major political, social, and economic events that shaped Germany during this period, including the rise of Prussia, the unification of Germany, the two world wars, and the country's post-war reconstruction.The book begins with an overview of Germany's political and social landscape in 1740, when the country was divided into numerous small states and ruled by a patchwork of monarchs. It then traces the gradual rise of Prussia under the leadership of Frederick the Great, who transformed the country into a major European power.The book also covers the tumultuous period of the nineteenth century, when Germany underwent significant political and social upheaval. It describes the various political movements that emerged during this time, including liberalism, socialism, and nationalism, and how they contributed to the country's unification in 1871.The book then delves into the two world wars and their aftermath, describing the devastating impact they had on Germany and its people. It also explores the country's post-war reconstruction and its emergence as a major economic power in the latter half of the twentieth century.Overall, Germany Since 1740 is a detailed and informative account of Germany's history, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the country's political, social, and economic evolution over the past three centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
