MAXIMILIAN ALEXANDER FRIEDRICH WILHELM MARGRAVE OF BADEN (1867-1929), also known as Max von Baden, was a German prince and politician. He was heir to the Grand Duchy of Baden and in October and November 1918 briefly served as Chancellor of the German Empire. He sued for peace on Germany’s behalf at the end of World War I based on U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points, which included immediately transforming the government into a parliamentary system and proclaiming the abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II.
The book is a first-hand account of the events that took place during his tenure as Chancellor, including the political and social upheavals that led to the fall of the German Empire. The author covers a wide range of topics, including the outbreak of war, the negotiations for peace, the political turmoil that followed the war, and the rise of the Weimar Republic. The book also provides insights into his personal life, his relationships with other political figures and his views on the role of the monarchy in modern Germany. These two volumes form a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on one of the most turbulent periods in German history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Germany, the First World War, or the political and social changes that took place in Europe during the early 20th century.
