"German Empire" as a book category covers works—both nonfiction and fiction—focused on the period of the unified German state from 1871 to 1918 (the Second Reich) and its global and domestic impact. It includes political and diplomatic histories of unification, Bismarckian statecraft and the Kaisers, military and naval buildup, and the causes and consequences of World War I; social, economic, and cultural studies of industrialization, urbanization, class and gender; colonial history and overseas possessions; biographies and memoirs of key figures; and historical novels, alternate histories, travelogues, and primary-source collections set in or about the era. Books in this category typically explore power, nationalism, modernization, and everyday life in Central Europe, and appeal to readers of military history, political history, social and cultural history, and historically grounded fiction.
