Although often viewed as ineffectual intellectuals, or a spent political force, the left liberals had become the third largest party in German politics by 1914. This study investigates left liberals in the locality, as well as at a national level, with case studies ranging from Kiel to Kattowitz.
Alastair Thompson here challenges the view of German Liberalism as the helpless victim of mass mobilization and political polarization in Wilhelmine Germany. He reveals the influence of a party that was the third largest in German politics by 1914 and which effectively wrote the Weimar Constitution. His study is central to understanding increasing Left Liberal support on the eve of war, and why liberal values could not be consolidated after 1918.
