Produced by Markus Brenner, Irma Spehar and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "German Problems and Personalities" by Charles Sarolea is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the tumultuous period surrounding World War I. This work analyzes the German character and the political dynamics that led to the outbreak of conflict in Europe. Through a series of essays and reflections, Sarolea explores German nationalism, militarism, and the ideologies that shaped the nation, including an examination of influential figures like Bismarck and Nietzsche. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive critique of German politics and society, establishing Sarolea as a keen observer of the international landscape before the war. He highlights Germany's historical trajectory, foreseeing the inevitable clash with other nations due to aggressive expansionist policies encapsulated by the term "Drang nach Osten" (drive towards the East). He stresses the disconnect between the Prussian militaristic ethos and the more artistic and liberal elements of Southern and Western Germany. Sarolea’s insights provide a compelling perspective on the factors contributing to Germany’s isolation and the pervasive sentiments that ultimately precipitated the war, framing it as a struggle between liberalism and despotism.
