The book details which Germans pushed for overseas expansion, how they tried to implement their ambitions, and why they ultimately failed. Discussions of political leaders and diplomats, the navy, German nationals overseas, and the German Evangelical Church and its missions abroad contribute to the history of Wilhelmian Germany.

We tend to believe that WW I was an European subject with an European scope. And WW II was an European subject with worlwide scope. But the idea of the German Empire was not buried in the middle ages. Germans made blockades on american ports as late as early this century, and were willing to obtain a base in the caribbean (Isla de Margarita). The term Weltpolitik is not new to germans. This book makes us think on the thin layers of imperialistic thought that led to the Nazi nightmare.
