"For more than 120 years (1714-1837) Great Britain was linked to the German Electorate, later Kingdom, of Hanover through Personal Union. This made Britain a continental European state in many respects, and diluted her sense of insular apartness. The geopolitical focus of Britain was now as much on Germany, on the Elbe and the Weser as it was on the Channel or overseas. At the same time, the Hanoverian connection was a major and highly c ..."

Bolingbroke and his circle: the politics of nostalgia in the age of Walpole(Harvard,
1968). It remained a key theme in Patriot propaganda throughout the rest of the
early Hanoverian period, for which see especially Christine Gerrard, Patriot
opposition to Walpole: politics, poetry, and national myth, 1725–1742 (1994). For
Walpole's press strategy, see esp ..."

"The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was done mainly, if one is to believe US policy at the time, to liberate the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. However, the many protests in London, New York, and other cities imply that the policy of "making the world safe for democracy" was not shared by millions of people in many Western countries. Thinking about this controversy inspired the present volume, which takes a closer look at how s ..."
"British Envoys to Germany presents official reports sent from the British missions in Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Dresden, Stuttgart, Munich and Vienna. The diplomatic correspondence selected for Volume 4 provides strong evidence that the period between the Dresden Conferences of 1851 and the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 should be seen as more than just a time of transition between the revolution of 1848 and German unification. ..."

Während politische Kräfte über eine Zukunft stritten, in deren Mittelpunkt ein starker Nationalstaat stehen sollte, entstand etwa zeitgleich eine neue europäische Infrastruktur: Eisenbahnen beförderten Menschen und Güter, Telegrafennetze übermittelten Nachrichten, ohne an nationalen Grenzen halt zu machen. Die Zeit seit 1850 erwies sich als eine Epoche der intensiven internationalen ..."

" Whenever the British Press wants to attack the Royal Family, they make a jibe about "their foreign roots." The Royals - as they say - are simply a posh version of German invaders. But did German relatives really influence decisions made by any British monarchs or are they just an "imagined community," invented by journalists and historians? The Royal Archives at Windsor gave the authors - among others John Rohl, doyen of 19th century m ..."
