Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Founding of the German Empire by William I, Vol. 2: Based Chiefly Upon Prussian State Documents Even in the middle of the critical nineteenth century the mission of Count Brandenburg to Warsaw, and its results, gave rise to remarkable, almost dramatic stories. Such mythical legends are usually supposed to be found only among the traditions of most ancient times, or at the latest in the romantic Middle Ages. We forget that the modern races are also gifted with imagination, and that they like as much as ever to see their theories and fancies expressed concretely. The generation that watched the events of 1850 was filled with the idea that Prussia´s honor demanded a war with Austria and Russia; and when this expectation was frustrated, the age created for its own satisfaction a hero who should suffer a tragic end in the direful catastrophe. The accepted account, which was published immediately after Brandenburg´s death, and rumored abroad with many modifications, is well known.
