Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on International Relations, Vol. 2 of 2: Before and During the War of 1870 Combining prudence with generosity, the Prussian Government did not, however, deliver over to the evicted sovereigns the whole of the compensation awarded them, but stipulated that a considerable amount of the moneys should remain in Prussian hands and subject to Prussian control. Notwithstanding this politic precaution, such was their rancour against this Government, that whenever Louis Napoleon in the last three years gave signs of a distant intention to go to war with Prussia, the Elector of Hesse and the King of Hanover incited him to carry out his designs, and punish the country that had deprived them of their ancient inheritance. To promote this end, they carried on a journalistic campaign against this Government, establishing some papers and subsidising others for the sole purpose of representing a French war as imminent and the defeat of Prussia as a mere question of time. Not satisfied with this, the King of Hanover went the length of helping a few hundred of his former soldiers to run away to France, where he formed them into a legion, placed them under military officers, and had them regularly drilled, for the avowed object of employing them against Prussia in the next war that should occur. The Elector of Hesse, on his part, at a moment when he supposed the French ready to cross the frontier, published a solemn statement of the wrongs sustained by him, and claimed sovereignty over all the Cassel Hessians as the inalienable right of his race. Provoked by these continued acts of hostility, the Prussian Government have at last thought it indispensable to resort to reprisals and sequestrate moneys, which, it was clear, had been awarded to unrelenting enemies.
