England and Germany

"England and Germany" by Emile Joseph Dillon is a detailed look into the relationship between England and Germany in the years around World War I. It digs into Germany's plans and what they meant for the rest of Europe. Dillon uses what he learned from being around European governments to explain what Germany was like as a country and what its goals were. The book starts by talking about the time right before the war, when many people thought there was peace. Dillon argues that Germany was secretly trying to take over Europe and had already started influencing countries like Italy and Russia through their economies and politics. Dillon is setting things up to look at how ready Germany was for war, and how this war will change the world.
