TOPIC question: Consider Ecksteins’s description of British and German national attitudes on the eve of World War I. What does he identify as the primary characteristics of British and German nationalism, and how did they help establish the idea that the other (British/German) was the enemy? In your essay, assess Eckstein’s claim that, despite the “Christmas truce” of 1914, “the purpose of the war seems at this stage … to have remained inviolate” (155). |
