The concept of the 'Great Germanic World' became a guiding star for many generations of Germans. It was a source of inspiration for brilliant poets and composers and a building material for the elevation of thousands of politicians: from Bismarck's Pan-Germanists to Hitler's fascists. But what price did ordinary Germans pay for this? The author briefly and engagingly tells the history of Germany and shows through examples how the leaders of one of the most successful and developed countries in the world led it to ruin. They acted from the best and most rational motives and wanted prosperity and well-being for the German people. It seemed like they had discovered the most powerful source of progress energy - the national idea, free from the original sins of globalization and internationalism. That is, from the greed of capitalists and the fantasies of communists. As a result: two world wars, tens of millions of people killed and tortured, and the complete destruction of the concept of Great Germany.
The book answers many questions in a new way:
- What are the causes of the First and Second World Wars?
- Where did the rise of nationalism in Europe in the 19th - early 20th century lead?
- Where is the thin line between nationalism and Nazism?
