German historian Heinrich von Treitschke (18341896) symbolizes nationalism and conservatism, as Mazzini most closely symbolizes the relationship between nationalism and liberalism in the early 19th century. Later relationship between militarism and authoritarianism. As a son of General Prussia, Treitschke taught history at several universities, including the famous Berlin University, where he finished his career. From 1871 to 1884 he was a member of the German Parliament of the German Parliament. His most famous work is his 7th German history in the 19th century, and with his many other works, lectures and speech, Treitschke is a maritime principle, authoritarianism and war as a great way to Germany Praised for. His view has reacted many Germans, they are concerned about socialism and democracy, and they are anxious for Germany to be recognized as the most powerful country in the world.

With the emergence of historical scholarships in the first half of the 19th century, early emphasis on ancient Germany was supplemented by the medieval origin of Germany. German historians tried to explain why Germany still has a difference between France and the UK when the nation state was understood as the end of legal and historical development in the days of nationalism. I believe they found the answer to this puzzle in the history of the medieval empire. Immediately after Charlemagne died (814), Carolingian Empire was divided into the kingdom of the west, the central, and the eastern. From the perspective of a historian of the 19th century, the Western kingdom was destined to become France, the eastern kingdom was destined to be Germany; the central kingdom was subdivided and the discussion between the two emerging countries It continued to be a focus.
