More than 50 years after the beginning of the Second World War, the investigation of its causes and reasons - and with it the question of who is to blame for this struggle between the nations - has not yet been amicably decided. The West German historians' dispute from 1986 onwards brought the long overdue demand of numerous historical researchers for a unprejudiced consideration of the time of the Third Reich and for the replacement of the previous one-sided moral judgments by objective findings. Since, even in 2023, many Allied primary sources both in the West and in the East are still kept under lock and key, it has been primarily material by the victors incriminating Germany that has been published.

In the present work, which Prof. Hoggan was able to complete shortly before his death in 1988, Dr. Hoggan has compiled his thoughts and judgments on the history of Germany and Europe and provided an extensive overview of the events since 1871. Germany's situation and possibilities under the various forms of government since the Bismarck era are compared and the essential events are presented with extensive background information. The war guilt of the Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt, who intervened in the world wars without any threat from Germany and thereby prevented a European peace, allowed Bolshevism to spread to the Elbe, and destroyed the prospects for European amity.
