Summary

One of the signal events of the twentieth century was Germany's effort to construct an empire in Europe modeled on the European experience outside Europe. David Hamlin argues that this effort was a strategic choice taken to grapple with the global economic and political power of England and the US and manifested itself first in World War One.
