Originally published in English in 1928, this volume deals mainly with Anglo-German relations at the end of the 19th Century. Chancellor Otto von Bismarck’s voice can be heard clearly in the documents which give an extensive picture of the alternating phases of relations between Great Britain and Germany, as influenced by their respective obligations and interests in the international issues which united or divided the Powers over a period of twenty years. The strongest impression which these documents leave is the revelation of how greatly the mentality of the western world changed since they were drafted, and especially during the decade which came after World War I. The shaping of policy, as exhibited in these despatches and memoranda, is governed almost exclusively by the ultimate idea of war as the deciding factor. The menace of war and the prospects of success or failure in aggression or defence appear to be the essential motives of policy.

Originally published in English in 1929, this second volume of the German Diplomatic Documents covers a much shorter period: 1890–1898. During this period there was no war or revolution in Europe, but the sphere of German and indeed European politics became enlarged. The documents in this volume deal with questions raised by diverse regions such as Armenia, Morocco, Tunisia, Tripoli, South Africa, Crete and Cuba. The papers here reissued show that colonial expansion is a recognised part of the official German programme. As with the first volume, the policy exhibited in the despatches of this volume are governed almost exclusively by the ultimate idea of war.

Originally published in 1930, this volume opens with some selections dealing with the situation created by the victory of Japan over China in 1904 which opened a new epoch in the history of the Far East. It includes two momentous conflicts profoundly affecting international relations – the Boer War and the Russo-Japanese War. It also touches at many points on the long discussions aiming at a naval agreement, with or without some form of general understanding, between England and Germany. Through the Alliance with Japan and the Entente with France it leads up to the separation of Europe into two rival camps, in the course of an evolution in which crisis followed crisis with increasing and often alarming intensity.

Originally published in English in 1931, this fourth and final volume of documents brings the reader to the brink of World War I. The despatches beg the question of whether war was inevitable and if so, could it have been postponed? The question of whether the British Empire needed to have taken part in it, and how far its action or inaction was responsible for the outbreak is also discussed.

Originally published in English between 1928 and 1931, selected and translated from Die Große Politik der Europäischen Mächte, these 4 volumes represent a collection of invaluable primary resource material.Historians of any period seek to understand and explain the spirits, prejudices, machinations and motivations of often fleeting moments. Here, then, is a cornucopia of them – about a different age when an army had more than a defensive justification and the idea of War was “not unobjectionable”. These volumes open new windows on Bismarck (as a man of peace!), on the Franco-Prussian confrontation, on the Boer Wars, on the arrival (and preventability) of the Great War itself. They explain the Kaiser’s ambitions and Germany’s too. They explain the Balkans and Middle Europe. Perhaps all four are best approached through the wisdom and ambassadorial eminence of those who provide the introductions - men who had lived through the days when those papers were written and transmitted, now reacting to many of their revelations for the first time. They include Sir Maurice de Bunsen, British Ambassador in Vienna until the day in August 1914 when Germany declared war on Russia and the world was changed.The volumes are mainly made up of exchanges between the German Foreign Office and its representatives in London, some correspondence between Berlin and continental embassies and important minutes by the German Chancellor or Foreign Minister. The volumes present an extensive picture of the alternating phases of relations between Great Britain, Germany and subsequently, the United States leading up to the eve of the First World War.
