Empire Wilhelm
Can you explain this question to me? ‘Did the German Kaiserreich pursue a Sonderweg (special path) in Europe?
‘Did the German Kaiserreich pursue a Sonderweg (peculiar orspecial path) in Europe?’
Can you explain specifically what this question means to me?
Kaiserreich – is this referring to both Wilhelm I & Wihelm II (1871-1914)?
Sonderweg – im pretty sure i know what this means but if you can sum it up in a nice neat sentance that would be good too!
P.S. If you want to try and actually answer this question in any shape or form… i wouldn’t be opposed! 
(and for anyone is going to say do your own homework, well i got 7 books on German history in front of me from David G. Williamson’s ‘Germany since 1815′ to Erich Eyeck’s ‘Bismarck and the German Empire’ and also, a lot of wikipedia tabs open!)
I just need to know what exact this question means and how i should go about answering it!
Thank you!
The question sounds like a homework in history.
The term ”Sonderweg” is used to refer to the policy of Germany during the period of the Kaiserreich.
Germany tried to find a way not to be too close to either Russia Great Britain or France.
BTW It is a bit similar to the policy of balance of powers which was followed by Great Britain.
BTW this is TRAVEL GERMANY not homework help or history!
EDIT unlike what the troll answer below me tells you the Sonderweg has got NOTHING to do with capitalist or communist it is a much older term!!
It is used in context with the foreign policy of the Kaiserreich as I explained.
