| Summary | "The New Germany" by George Young is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text reflects on the chaotic and transformative period in Germany following World War I, particularly from the signing of the Armistice to the Treaty of Versailles in 1920. It discusses Germany's political upheaval, evaluating revolutionary movements and governmental responses amid the struggle between reactionary and revolutionary forces, effectively tracing the birth of "New Germany." At the start of the narrative, the author discusses his motivations for covering the events in Germany in 1919, highlighting the significance of the German revolution in forming a new political landscape in Europe. Young notes that the revolutionary spirit met with violent opposition and governmental repression, resulting in a complex civil conflict marked by military intervention from both reactionary forces and revolutionary elements. This opening sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the tumultuous political dynamics as various factions vie for power and influence, leading to questions about the future of democracy and Germany's role in the emerging post-war order.
