  Boraq Hamim Art news website, the book “Shortest History of Germany; From Julius Caesar to Angela Merkel” written by James Hawes and translated by Saeed Moghadam, has been published by the Central Publishing House and is on its way to the market.

James Hawes, the author of this book, was born in 1960 and studied German language and literature at Oxford University and University College London. He then taught German at the universities of Maynooth, Sheffield and Sunzai. This author has books such as “Speak for England” and “The English and the Huns” in his portfolio. Hawes currently teaches creative writing at Oxford University’s MA. This author has a compact history of the history of England in his portfolio.

The author of “Comprehensive History of Germany”, whose first edition was released in 2017, says that the Western powers are retreating, and to understand the possibility that Germany could be their last hope, we should throw away everything we know about the history of this country and start anew; According to him, a little later than the beginning.

In this work, the historical periods of Germany are classified according to the periods of five centuries. Therefore, the upcoming book has 4 main parts, which are as follows:

“The first five centuries (58 BC – 526 AD) the Romans create the Germans, then the Germans conquer Rome”, “the second five centuries (526 AD – 983 AD) the Germans rebuild Rome”, “the third five centuries (983 AD – 1525 AD) War on Germany”, “The fourth five centuries (1525 AD until now) Germany is moving in two directions”.

In a part of this book we read:

After Napoleon’s first defeat in 1814, Britain and Russia soon fell out, much earlier than the United States and the Soviet Union did after 1945. Prussia benefited the most in this separation. The Prussians at the “Congress of Vienna” in 1814 demanded all of Saxony as a reward for rising (albeit tardy) against Napoleon. The Russians, who regarded Prussia as their puppet government, supported their claims. The Austrians resisted the Prussian demand and the British agreed with them. Less than six months after Napoleon was deposed and exiled to Elbe (or Elba, an island near Tuscany in Italy), Britain allied with France and Austria to stand up to Russia and Prussia, by war if necessary. Russia retreated, and Prussia in turn had no choice but to grudgingly accept what the British offered as consolation: half of Saxony plus a large area of ​​the Rhine basin.

London had a master plan for Europe. A large enough German power would have to seize territory along the Rhine to bisect it and act as a natural buffer against any future French expansionism. No one, not Bavaria, Austria or Prussia, wanted to accept this role, because then they would be right in the line of fire. The Prussians were also not very interested in annexing a new land that was entirely Catholic, with generally un-Prussian social and legal traditions. However, there was no other offer now, so the Prussians accepted it.

This book is published with 296 pages, number of thousand copies.
