The German state created in 1871 is often presented as the preordained offspring of resurgent nationalist sentiment and Prussian [...] Breuilly here contests this account and looks closely at the role of Austria, which was dominant within the German lands for much of the nineteenth century, as well as the part played by other German states. He argues that German nationalism was an effect of nation-state formation as much as its cause; that a Prussian-led unification was highly unlikely until the 1860s, and that dimly understood and rapidly changing circumstances then came to favour Prussia, although the particular way unification happened remained a matter of chance to the very end.
Now in its second edition, "Austria"," Prussia and the Making of Germany 1806-1871"
- Demonstrates how Prussia's ability to modernise more rapidly than Austria tipped the balance of power in its favour
- Examines German unification as one element in the growth of nationalist ideologies throughout Europe
- Places the case of Germany in the context of wider theoretical debates about both nationalism and nation-state formation
This fully updated and revised second edition will be an invaluable resource to students of this key period of German history.
John Breuilly is Professor of Nationalism and Ethnicity at LSE. His other publications in this field include "The Formation of the First German Nation-State" (1996) and, with Ronald Speirs (eds), "Germany""'s Two Unifications: Anticipations, Experiences, Responses" (2004). He is currently editing "The""Oxford Handbook of the History of Nationalism."
