Germanizing Prussian Poland: The H-K-T Society and the Struggle for the Eastern Marches in the German Empire, 1894-1919

Richard Wonser Tims

Germanizing Prussian Poland: The H-K-T Society And The Struggle For The Eastern Marches In The German Empire, 1894-1919 is a historical book written by Richard Wonser Tims. The book explores the history of the H-K-T Society, a German nationalist organization that sought to Germanize the Polish population in Prussia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The H-K-T Society was founded in 1894 and was instrumental in promoting German culture and language in Prussian Poland. The book traces the history of the H-K-T Society from its inception to its dissolution in 1919, following the end of World War I. Tims explores the Society's activities, including its efforts to promote German education and culture in Prussian Poland, as well as its role in the Germanization policies of the Prussian government. The book also examines the Society's relationship with the Polish population in Prussia, who resisted Germanization efforts and fought for their own national identity.Through extensive research and analysis, Tims provides a detailed account of the H-K-T Society and its impact on the history of Prussian Poland. He explores the complex political and cultural dynamics of the region, including the tensions between German and Polish nationalism, and the role of the H-K-T Society in shaping these dynamics. Overall, Germanizing Prussian Poland: The H-K-T Society And The Struggle For The Eastern Marches In The German Empire, 1894-1919 is a comprehensive and illuminating study of a little-known aspect of German and Polish history. It will be of interest to scholars and students of European history, as well as anyone interested in the history of nationalism and identity in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
