From Stein to Bismarck
Prussianism
Circa February 1915.

		<description><![CDATA[Germany to 1813
From Stein to Bismarck
The principle of cuius regio, eius religio, originally defined at the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, helped to isolate the German political conscience. Was it that, as well as the clumsiness of German prose, which produced a flight into music?
In the last post, Toynbee described early national sentiment as something [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidderrick.wordpress.com&blog=279863&post=14352&subd=davidderrick&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Germany to 1813
