The Coming Conquest of England : 9781604591163

The Coming Conquest of England is a classic utopian novel that displayed the German lust for world domination long before either of the two world wars.The story that I shall portray in the following pages is not a chapter of the world s past history; it is the picture as it clearly developed itself to my mind s eye, on the publication of the first despatch of the Viceroy Alexieff to the Tsar of Russia. And, simultaneously like a flash of lightning, the telegram which the Emperor William sent to the Boers after Jameson s Raid crosses my memory that telegram which aroused in the heart of the German nation such an abiding echo. I gaze into the picture, and am mindful of the duties and aims of our German nation. My dreams, the dreams of a German, show me the war that is to be, and the victory of the three great allied nations. Germany, France, and Russia and a new division of the possessions of the earth as the final aim and object of this gigantic universal war.
