- Title
Kaiser and the Colonies: Monarchy in the Age of Empire.
- Authors
Müller, Frank Lorenz
- Abstract
Fitzpatrick is to be congratulated on his choice of monarchy as a prism through which to analyse the exercise, manipulation, generation and destruction of power in the Age of Empire. In 1881, according to a widely shared story, the future King Edward VII had to explain to Germany's visibly disgruntled Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm why the Hawaiian King Kalakaua outranked the Prussian at a society event organized in London. Fitzpatrick takes his readers to Wituland, where Germany abandoned Sultan Fumo Bakari in favour of closer ties with Britain after the Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty.
