Germany's First Bid for Colonies, 1884-1885; A Move in Bismarck's European Policy,

In this book, the noted English historian A.J.P. Taylor examines the reasons for German's sudden entrance into the scramble for colonies. Professor Taylor takes issue with standard interpretations--a rising enthusiasm for colonies, public pressure on the government, a reversal of attitude on Bismarck's part--and instead seeks to explain Bismarck's colonial policy by fitting it into the structure of contemporary European politics.Taylor, A.
