From the roots of the Frankish kingdom to the reach of a global empire, this history traces how Germany and its lands matured into a nation.
This comprehensive account blends political, religious, and social threads to show how rulers, peoples, and ideas shaped the German story across centuries. It also surveys Germany’s later role abroad, including its colonial ventures in Africa and the challenges of managing an empire.
The book begins with the fragmentation of early Frankish rule, the spread of Christianity, and the growth of centralized authority under figures like Charlemagne. It explains how unity emerged through conquest, reform, and the church, setting the stage for a distinct German identity. As the narrative moves forward, it examines the rise of the modern German state and the shifting balance of power within Europe.
- Early kingdoms and the formation of a German landscape through Frankish rule and tribal provinces
- The Christianization of German peoples and the role of the church in state-building
- The medieval to early modern shift toward a unified realm under a single ruler
- 19th–20th century politics, including Bismarck’s policies, social democracy, and state responses
- Germany’s colonial era in Africa, with profiles of its possessions and administration
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, documentary-style arc from early Europe to imperial ambitions, and for those who want a grounded view of how history informs modern national identities.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
