| Summary |
"Bismarck and the Foundation of the German Empire" by James Wycliffe Headlam is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and impact of Otto von Bismarck, the key architect behind the creation of the German Empire. Headlam likely focuses on Bismarck's political maneuvers, his role in unifying Germany, and the historical events that shaped his career and the nation as a whole. The opening of the book establishes the early background of Otto von Bismarck, born in 1815 in Schoenhausen, Brandenburg, into a noble family with deep roots in the region. It describes the historical context of his birth, mentioning significant military events like the return of Prussian troops after the Napoleonic Wars. The text provides insights into Bismarck's lineage and the family's longstanding connection to Prussian nobility, setting the stage for understanding his future political ideologies and actions. Early life and societal influences are also addressed, highlighting Bismarck's education and the ambivalence he felt toward both his upbringing and the broader socio-political changes occurring in Europe during his formative years.
