Description

The Submerged Nationalities of the German Empire, written by Ernest Barker and published in 1915, is a historical and political analysis of the various ethnic and linguistic groups that were part of the German Empire at the time. The book explores the tensions and conflicts that existed between these groups, including the Poles, Danes, Alsatians, and others, and the ways in which the German government attempted to suppress their cultural identities and assimilate them into a homogenous German nation. Barker also examines the role of nationalism and imperialism in the German Empire, and the impact of these forces on the various nationalities within its borders. Throughout the book, Barker argues that the subjugation of these nationalities was a key factor in the outbreak of World War I, and that their struggles for autonomy and self-determination were crucial to the future of Europe. The Submerged Nationalities of the German Empire is an important work of early 20th-century political and historical scholarship, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of nationalism, identity, and conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
