Ever heard of Isla de Margarita?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
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.
