Beziehung Zwischen Deutschland Und England
England ein Land voller Traditionen
Trotz allen Beharrens auf liebgewonnenen Traditionen, die manchmal in unseren Augen etwas skurril anmuten – zum Beispiel, dass der Speaker of the House of Commons, der Präsident des britischen Unterhauses, vor jeder Parlamentssitzung mit einer Handvoll seiner Mitarbeiter im Gleichschritt im Parlamentsgebäude einen ganz bestimmten, festgelegten Weg nehmen muss, um zu seinem Arbeitsplatz zu kommen, und dass sein Kommen dabei jedes Mal umständlich angekündigt wird, wo doch jeder weiß, wann morgens die Plenarsitzung beginnt – also obwohl Tradition immer noch hoch im Kurs steht: Großbritannien ist sehr viel moderner als früher. Eine neue Generation hat in allen Bereichen, von der Politik über die Wirtschaft bis zur Publizistik, den Stab übernommen. Das ist unverkennbar. Und das hat natürlich auch Auswirkungen auf das deutsch-britische Verhältnis. Schon vor über hundert Jahren schrieb Lord Salisbury an Bismarck: "Zwischen keinen zwei Ländern sollte die Verständigung so gut sein wie zwischen den unsrigen". Und tatsächlich: Die politischen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und dem Vereinigten Königreich sind nun schon über mehreren Generationen hinweg stabil gut. Es gibt einen regen Austausch zwischen den Regierungschefs, aber auch auf den niedrigeren Regierungsebenen und zwischen den Parlamenten. Und wie eng unsere Gesellschaften gerade im Bereich der Wirtschaft miteinander verbunden sind, braucht man sicher nicht besonders hervorzuheben. Deutschland ist nach den USA für Großbritannien der wichtigste Handelspartner, und bei uns kommt Großbritannien nach Frankreich und den USA auch gleich an dritter Stelle. Es findet also auch hier ein reger Austausch statt. Und dennoch drängt sich, trotz der guten politischen und wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen, oft der Eindruck auf, dass Deutschland und Großbritannien im Grunde ferne Nachbarn sind. Zurecht ist von einem gescheiten Beobachter gesagt worden, dass es eine "Illusion der Vertrautheit" in

    Possibly the single most pondered question in history could be what caused the unrestricted and blind slaughter of World War I? After the Age of Imperialism reached its height during the mid-1800s it was followed by a seemingly vibrant age of progression that gleamed optimism in the minds of some Europeans. Unification among Germany in 1871 and Serbia in 1882 presented the map of Europe with new political entities. However, this age of apparent progressive reform shrouded over the real tensions that lied beneath. Unlike World War II, a phenomenon whereby a single belligerent foe antagonized the global stage to militarily intervene. It didn't possess the moral and credible vindication to resist a tyrant. Rather a delicate but toxic balance of…

    The first controversy between the Flemings and Walloons was political tension. After the Belgian Revolution in 1830, the new nation of Belgium had to come to terms in context of political leaders, but the dispute between the Flemings and Walloons was so strong that no political settlement could be officiated. In Document 2, an American diplomat speaks about the history of Flemings and Walloons, stating that Walloons are impatient politicians and deny tradition, while Flemings feel strong nationality and are better contenders to run the government. This document is supported by Document 4, where a Brussels-based newspaper claims that Walloon control the north, but resist monarchial power, while Flemings are ardent supporters. In Document 8, a French observer discuses the struggle for political power between the Flemings and Walloons, stating that the Catholic Flemings lead a politically dominant party and their leadership demands must be met over those of the Walloon politicians. Through years of battling, Walloons and Flemings still found their selves butting heads in the political arena, but still, all of that fighting came down to one issue: language.…

    As nationalism and its ideas began the journey across Europe, it started to unite people into nation states. One of the prime examples of this unity is Germany. Before Germany was united as a whole in 1871, the nation was separated into Germanic states and Prussia. Determined to unite them into Germany because of their ethnicity, Wilhelm hired Otto Von Bismarck, who was just the guy to bring everyone together. Bismarck had used carefully thought out tactics to unite the Germanic states. They needed Prussia in order to become a powerful Germany. “Prussia….could no longer carry alone the power Germany required for its security” [Bismarck, Document 5]. Finally getting Prussia after the Franco-Prussian War, Germany was then united as a proud and powerful Germanic nation. The French were also united through Nationalism. After realizing their…

    In the nineteenth century, Germany was struggling to unify after the failure of the Frankfort Assembly of 1848, which was meant to unify Germany. In 1862, William I, formerly known as Frederick William IV, was appointed king of the military state known as Prussia. As a result of disputes from the rising middle class, William I choose to hire Otto von Bismarck as chancellor in order to quiet the unrest. Otto von Bismarck was a realpolitik, someone whose decisions were based on practicality, not morals. The policies of Otto von Bismarck’s government represented the new kind of conservatism because they represented realpolitik through doing what’s best for the country by incorporating the growing idea of socialism into reforms, all while valuing…

Begining at the end of the Napoleonic Wars at Waterloo in 1815, and until the outbreak of war in 1914, the contries in Europe were mostly at peace with one another.

    National identity and nationalism (sense of pride and commitment to a nation) are usually linked to nationality and membership of a nation-state, but this is not necessarily the case in Britain. This is because Britain is made up of a wide variety of ethnic groups including the English, Scottish, Poles, Asians and African Carribeans, therefore it’s difficult to identify a specific British identity. Some sociologists argue that there is a ‘British identity crisis’ as core values like tolerance, respect, freedom of speech and justice are declining features of British identity in particular, as they are found in all Western democratic countries. Hall suggested that globalization is changing national cultures, leading to new cultures of hybridity and new hybrid identities. This is spread…

    When I saw England for the first time, I was a child in school sitting at a desk. The England I was looking at was laid out on a map gently, beautifully, delicately, a very special jewel; it lay on a bed of sky blue—the background of the map—its yellow form mysterious, because though it looked like a leg of mutton, it could not really look like anything so familiar as a leg of mutton because it was England— with shadings of pink and green, unlike any shadings of pink and green I had seen before, squiggly veins of red running in every direction. England was a special jewel all right, and only special people got to wear it. The people who got to wear England were English people. They wore it well and they wore it everywhere: in jungles, in deserts, on plains, on top of the highest mountains, on all the oceans, on all the seas, in places where they were not welcome, in places they should not have been. When my teacher had pinned this map up on the blackboard, she said, "This is England"— and she said it with authority, seriousness, and adoration, and we all sat up. It was as if she had said, "This is Jerusalem, the place you will go to when you die but only if you have been good." We understood then—we were meant to understand then—that England was to be our source of myth and the source from which we got our sense of reality, our sense of what was meaningful, our sense of what was mean-ingless—and much about our own lives and much about the…

    In the first phase of World War II in Europe, Germany sought to avoid a long war. Germany's strategy was to defeat its opponents in a series of short campaigns. Germany quickly overran much of Europe and was victorious for more than two years by relying on a new military tactic called the "Blitzkrieg" (lightning war). Blitzkrieg tactics required the concentration of offensive weapons (such as tanks, planes, and artillery) along a narrow front. These forces would drive a breach in enemy defenses, permitting armored tank divisions to penetrate rapidly and roam freely behind enemy lines, causing shock and disorganization among the enemy defenses. German air power prevented the enemy from adequately resupplying or redeploying forces and thereby from sending reinforcements to seal breaches in the front. German forces could in turn encircle opposing troops and force surrender. Germany successfully used the Blitzkrieg tactic against Poland (attacked in September 1939), Denmark (April 1940), Norway (April 1940), Belgium (May 1940), the Netherlands (May 1940), Luxembourg (May 1940), France (May 1940), Yugoslavia (April 1941), and Greece (April 1941). Germany did not defeat Great Britain, which was protected from German ground attack by the English Channel and the Royal Navy.…

    “We are with you, but not of you,” the famous quote by Winston Churchill in 1948 what unofficially stated Great Britain’s political position towards Europe. Great Britain has been an awkward partner in Europe for a long time. Non-willingness to be described as a part of Europe, the refusal to join European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 (predecessor of the European Community and European Union), the willingness to go ‘only wider, but not deeper’ in case of European Union expansion, and the fear of losing her national identity and becoming a European, just as everyone else, are still just some of the actions Britain has taken to defend her exceptional identity.…
