The Second Reich arose in Europe after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire and the unification of the German lands by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm I. We will tell the story of how Bismarck made the Hohenzollern emperors of the largest empire in Europe and how Wilhelm II managed to bring the country to complete collapse. The German Empire is a unique example of effective centralization and efficient organization of the economy. At the same time, this is an empire that destroyed itself in pursuit of new territories. We will examine the causes and consequences in detail, tell you what Putin is trying to borrow from the Second Reich (and you can guess where this will lead Putin), show who and why can win in the confrontation between experience and audacity. And, in general, knowledge of the history of the Second Reich is not only a step towards understanding the history of Europe, but also the ability to understand the geopolitical processes of the past and present. #was #germany #reich Holy Roman Empire.
