It appears that the offence of which Mr Worth has been guilty is of a graver nature than was at first anticipated, and that he has acknowledged to have been the writer of a Letter to Mr Littlewood, which was captured previous to his own arrest, and which contained an order for the purchase of arms for the French Government. As this offence is likewise a Breach of the Proclamation of Neutrality issued by Her Majesty The Queen at the Commencement of the War,2 it will I conceive preclude any intervention of Her Majesty’s Government on behalf of Mr Worth,whowillhavetopaythepenaltyofhisown imprudence. I have no doubt that his case will be treated as leniently as possible, and that he will not be subjected to a further penalty than that of Confinement for the duration of the War. 1Enclosure: copy of James Plaister Harriss-Gastrell to Lord Augustus Loftus, Confidential, Cologne, 20 January 1871. Frederick Gonner Worth, who left besieged Paris in a balloon, was captured at Verdun on 27 October 1870.

Her Imperial Majesty thanked me for these felicitations; expressed the sincere attachment She entertained for Her Majesty The Queen, and referred in warm and complimentary terms to the anniversary of the union of the Crown Prince and Princess, which established, as Her Majesty hoped, an indissoluble link between the two countries. In granting the audience for the object I had solicited, Her Imperial Majesty observed that She had declined all similar felicitations, 3Robert von Frankenberg und Ludwigsdorf. 4Johann Joseph Fischer. 5Augusta. 6Wilhelm I accepted the imperial crown, which was offered to him by Ludwig II in the so-called Kaiserbrief of 30 November 1870,on18 December 1870.

FO 64/718: Lord Augustus Loftus to Earl Granville, Most Confidential, No 191, Berlin, 28 February 1871 [Received 6 March by Messenger Harbord. For: The Queen / Gladstone / Circulate] Discussion with Thile regarding peace with France, the British position, and the war indemnity; German sensitivity to any intervention negotiations It was evident to me that Baron Thile had been prepared by a Telegram from Count Bernstorff for the Communication of Your Lordship’s Despatch No 74, which I made to him yesterday, and that it was a Communication which was not agreeable to him.8 His Excellency enquired in a cynical manner whether we were bound by a feeling of friendship to both parties, I replied “Most certainly, and in that spirit of impartial neutrality which had guided us during the War.” His Excellency then merely observed that the Communication I had made was a most interesting and important one, and characteristic of us. I thought it advisable to abstain from any discussion and therefore made no further reply. I enquired of His Excellency whether the War Indemnity had been fixed at 5 or 6 Milliards. His Excellency replied that the Telegram which had been published giving the Conditions of the Peace (of which I reported to Your Lordship the substance in my ciphered Telegram of yesterday) had been sent by the Emperor- King to the Empress-Queen.9 In that Telegram the Indemnity was stated to be 5 Milliards, and I presume therefore that this sum included the deductions referred to in Your Lordship’s Despatch. Great jealousy and sensitiveness are evinced in Germany against any Foreign intervention in regard to the Conclusion of Peace, and it is to this feeling that I attribute the apparent dissatisfaction with which Baron Thile received communication of Your Lordship’s Despatch. 8In his dispatch to Loftus, No 74 of 24 February 1871, Granville expressed his ‘conviction that it is the interest of Germany as well as of France that the amount of the indemnity should not be greater than that which it is reasonable to expect could be paid’. 9In his telegram, dated Versailles 27 February, Wilhelm I informed Augusta that the peace preliminaries had been signed the previous day.

I enclose to Your Lordship, herewith, in original with a Precis´ in Translation from the Cologne Gazette referring to English intervention in the negotiations for Peace.10 FO 64/719: Lord Augustus Loftus to Earl Granville, No 275, Berlin, 25 March 1871 [Received 27 March by Messenger Drury. For: The Queen / Gladstone / Circulate; G[ranville]] Birthday felicitations to Wilhelm I; his views on the war with France I had the Honor of an Audience of the Emperor King on the 22nd instant to present my felicitations on the anniversary of His Imperial Majesty’s Birthday. Special Missions having been sent by The Emperors of Russia and Austria to congratulate His Imperial Majesty on His return to His capital, I felt that I should be acting in conformity with the wishes of The Queen by profiting of this opportunity to express similar felicitations to The Emperor in Her Majesty’s name.11 The Emperor received these felicitations most cordially and specially charged me to convey His best thanks to Her Majesty, and to say how deeply He appreciated the kind interest Her Majesty had ever taken in His Welfare. I had then the Honour to place in His Imperial Majesty’s hands The Queen’s Letter in reply to His Majesty’s notification of His acceptance of the Imperial Title.12 His Majesty conversed at some length on the events of the War, and on the state of France, and the condition in which He had found that Country.

As the fortunes of war shifted, so did borders, populations and national allegiances. In a period of acute and almost constant political crisis, the German government faced issues concerning citizenship, minority rights, religious identity, nationhood and statehood. My dissertation analyses these issues through the prism of the so-called 'Jewish Question'.

  • M207 Publication Title: Papers of Hermann Von Boyen, Ca. 1787
    Publication Number: M207 Publication Title: Papers of Hermann von Boyen, ca. 1787-1848 Date Published: 1952 PAPERS OF HERMANN VON BOYER, CA. 1787-1848 Introduction The records reproduced in this microfilm publication consist of papers of Herman von Boyen, an officer of the Prussian Army during the Napoleonic Wars, a leader of the military reform movement, and twice War Minister of Prussia. The paper binders and folders in which these documents are filed bear the imprint of the Heeresarchiv at Potsdam, which was the custodian of the collection. Some folders also bear the earlier label of the Geheimes Archiv des Kriegsminsteriums or of the Kriegs Archiv des Grossen Generalstabes; these institutions appear to have been the previous repositories for parts of the Reichsarchiv; in 1936, however, it was separated from the Reichsarchiv, and all military records and related materials in the legal custody of the latter were transferred to it. During the military operations in Germany in 1945 the documents reproduced in this microfilm publication came into the possession of the United States armed forces. In 1947 the War Department transferred them to the National Archives, where they constitute part of a body of records designated as Record Group 242, World War II Collection of Seized Enemy Records. Herman von Boyen was born at Kreuzberg, East Prussia, on June 23, 1771, and died at Berlin on February 15, 1848. He saw early service as a staff officer in Poland, 1794-96, and soon became widely known as a military writer. After the Peace of Tilsit he was made a member of the Commission for Military Reorganization, under the presidency of General von Scharnhorst, and was appointed to the Prussian Ministry of War.

Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
    Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

  • The Brunswick Succession
    YALE LAW JOURNAL. THE BRUNSWICK SUCCESSION The recent death of Prince Albert of Prussia, regent of the duchy of Brunswick, has served to once more bring into prominence certain political and constitutional questions severely agitated when, in 1884, the last duke of the elder branch of Brunswick-Luneburg, passed away, leaving the throne open, under the terms of ancient succession-agreements, to the younger line of the house now repre- sented by the duke of Cumberland. This latter prince would, doubt- less, have been chosen as a matter of course had not the further question of his hereditary claims upon Hanover, a province of Prussia since its incorporation by that power following the surren- der at Langensalza in 1866, introduced features which have led the imperial government to deny his constitutional eligibility. The duke's father, formerly reigned over Hanover as King George V, and was a son of that Ernest Augustus, younger brother of William IV of England, who, in 1837, succeeded to the crown of Hanover, Queen Victoria being excluded from a succession vested by law in the male line. The house of Brunswick is the modern representa- tive if the ancient Guelphs (Welfen) whose name, borne to-day by a small political faction in the Reichstag, stands for a general oppo- sition to things Prussian, and takes practical shape in an uncom- promising support of the duke's apparent design to acquire his Han- overian family possessions. The success of such an intention would plainly constitute a serious impairment of Prussia's territorial integ- rity, and, in this light, it was declared by a solemn decree of the Im- perial Federal Council, (Bundesrat) made July 2, 1885, to be con- trary to both the treaty-agreements (Biindnisvertrige) upon which the North German Confederation and the Empire are erected, and to the Imperial Constitution itself.
