(Excerpt from Politics, Vol. 1 of 2 Until the late Profes...)
Excerpt from Politics, Vol. 1 of 2 Until the late Professor Cramb published his Germany and England, Treitschke was scarcely even a name to the British public. Even now his name is much better known than his books. This is partly due to the fact that his main work was an unfinished history of modern Germany, and that much of this dealt with the period which began with the peace of 1815, and ended with the Bismarckian era, - a period rich in scientific, philosophical, and musical achievement, but politically barren and, to the foreigner, dull. It is also due to the fact that the full significance of the political theories to which the following lectures are devoted has only recently been made plain.

Heinrich was born in Dresden, Germany, on September 15, 1834.
He was the son of an officer in the Saxon army who rose to be governor of Konigstein and military governor of Dresden.
His lectures and writings bear distinct traces of the poet and dramatist, just as their militant spirit reflects his earlier interest in a soldier’s career. Treitschke’s interest in politics was first awakened when he was a high school student.
As a student at the University of Bonn, he was influenced by his teacher Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann and by the writings of August Ludwig von Rochau, the creator of the concept of Realpolitik, and he came to the conclusion that unification could be achieved only by a combination of national enthusiasm and power and that Prussia alone could generate both.
To the embarrassment of his family and at great risk to his academic career, he also advocated that cause after he had become Privatdozent at the University of Leipzig. Initially, Treitschke hoped that Prussia would win its role as leader of Germany at least partly through “moral conquests, ” and he objected strongly to the appointment of Bismarck as Prussian minister-president.
Deeply disappointed by the failure of the revolution of 1848, he devoted much thought and study to the cause of German unification.
But he became an ardent supporter of Bismarck after Prussia’s victory over Denmark in 1864 had convinced him of the effectiveness of power politics.
After unification (in 1871) he became increasingly conservative politically too.
His famous course on politics (see 1897 - 1898), a “must” for students from all departments, extolled the state as the iron framework within which selfish interests are controlled, and he saw war as the great purifier of the nation.
He thus implanted in his students a spirit of arrogant, uncouth nationalism, which he was the first to deplore when it became the dominant theme of German policy under William.
As a historian, Treitschke won great influence in Germany owing to his rhetorical gifts, his masterful literary style, and his colourful descriptions of political and cultural life. His writings contain many vehement and inaccurate political judgments, however, and his lack of objectivity stands in sharp contrast to the dispassionate learning of his great German contemporary, the historian Leopold von Ranke. After von Ranke’s death in 1886, Treitschke was named official historiographer of Prussia. In 1895 he became editor of the Historische Zeitschrift (“Historical Journal”).
Treitschke’s admiration for the early Hohenzollerns and his hatred of Prince von Metternich and the English are evident in his magnum opus, Deutsche Geschichte im 19. Jahrhundert, 5 vol. (1879–94; Treitschke’s History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century), which covers the period from 1800 to 1848. Treitschke did not live to finish writing this work.

(Foreign book.)
He was anti-Catholic.
Forced to leave Freiburg at the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian war of 1866, he became professor of history at the University of Kiel and, later, at the universities of Heidelberg, in 1867, and Berlin, in 1874, receiving these appointments more because of his political views than his scholarly attainments.
He came to detest liberalism as the embodiment of economic interests; he fought the Roman Catholics during the Kulturkampf on the grounds that they were weakening the state with their insistence on civil and religious liberties; and he turned on the Jews because, in his view, they refused to become wholehearted Germans and injected a dangerous materialistic, unheroic element into the German mind.
He was not a direct spiritual ancestor of National Socialism, but by his stress on the need for authoritarianism and power he helped to make the nation receptive to Nazi ideas. Most of Treitschke’s works are now interesting only as historical documents.
He was anti-Semitic, and anti-British.
Treitschke supported the idea of war and racism.
Treitschke became a member of the Reichsta and a member of National Liberal Party, and from that time till his death he was one of the most prominent figures in Berlin.
