BISMARCK - THE IRON CHANCELLOR

 

BISMARCK - THE IRON CHANCELLOR

Otto von Bismarck (1815-98) has gone down in the history as 'Iron Chancellor', a rectionary and a militarist whose unification of Germany in 1871 set Europe on the road to the desaster of the First World War. Yet as this comprehensive study shows, the real Bismarck was a much more complicated figure than this traditional stereotype suggests. the 'Founder of The Reich' had been an opponent of liberal German nationalism; after the wars of 1866 and 1870, Bismarck spent the rest of his career to preserve peace in Europe to protect the Reich he had created; and the reactionary enemy of socialism introduced comprehensive health and unemployment insurance for German workers.
