The concept of Germany as a distinct region in central Europe can be traced to Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as Germania, thus distinguishing it from Gaul (France), which he had conquered. The victory of the Germanic tribes in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (AD 9) prevented annexation by the Roman Empire.
In A Short History of Germany Mary Platt Parmele takes the reader on a riveting journey, from the rise of Charlemagne to the age of Martin Luther, from the Thirty Years' War to the iron rule of Otto von Bismarck and beyond.

Autorenporträt
Mary Platt Parmele (1843-1911) was an American author known for her accessible educational works on history, aiming to offer concise and engaging insights into the backgrounds of various countries and historical events. Her literary style typically involved distilling complex historical narratives into shorter, more digestible summaries without sacrificing depth or accuracy. One of her notable contributions to historical literature is 'A Short History of Germany' which provides readers with a streamlined account of Germany's intricate past, from its earliest tribal beginnings to its development into a nation at the forefront of European affairs. In this work, as with others, Parmele exhibited a capacity to weave factual information into a narrative form that appealed to an audience that might otherwise find the subject matter daunting. Her works were particularly influential at the beginning of the 20th century, serving both as educational resources and introductions to history for the general public. Parmele's other books, such as 'A Short History of France' and 'A Short History of Spain', further attest to her skill in rendering vast subjects into approachable prose. Her books continue to be referenced for their clarity, narrative appeal, and their ability to ignite interest in the histories of nations.
