An understanding of Bismarckian Germany is essential for anyone hoping to have a thorough knowledge on the origins of the First World War.

During Bismarck’s period of office, Germany laid the foundations for a future war with France by claiming the areas of Alsace and Lorraine during the Franco-Prussian war. The period also saw Europe begin to divide into two distinct factions which would ultimately be a major reason why war broke out in 1914 and why the whole of Europe became engrossed in it , rather than it being a localised affair.

Below we have documented the seven texts which we feel are essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of Bismarckian Germany –

1.    Bismarck and the German Empire – Erich Eyck
