In the wake of the Fischer Controversy on the origins of World War I there emerged in West Germany a younger generation of historians who took a critical 'revisionist' view of the Bismarckian Empire and began to analyze the political development of the Hohenzollern monarchy against the background of the country's social and economic power structures.

《德意志帝国》是德国批判史学派的代表作之一。作者认为1871年的德意志帝国只是通过军事性的“上层革命”建矗起来的国家。通过全面的剖析，作者指出德意志帝国虽然在经济领域实现了现代化，而社会和政治领域却只是部分地具有现代性，政治上仍足一个贵族阶级占据统治地位的国家。政治与经济发展之间的这种不协调给其发展带来诸多矛盾。统一后的德国在政治上仍然保持着前工业社会权力精英的独裁统治的社会特征，传统的权力精英们为了保持自己的特权和利益，竭力维持各种反民主、反半等和反现代的价值体系、教育制度、官僚制度、政党制度和思想意识。正是传统权力精英的这种政策使德国在发展进程中背上了沉重的历史负担，导致了第一次世界大战的爆发、魏玛共和国的失败和纳粹统治这些对德意志民族是灾难性的历史事件的发生。

Robert Gerwarth argues here that to view the German Revolution in this way is a serious misjudgement. Not only did it bring ...(展开全部)
