Munich in the Cobwebs of Berlin, Washington, and Moscow

Foreign Political Tendencies in Bavaria, 1917-1919.

In the later phases of World War I, Bavaria became diplomatically active. Berlin's wartime centralization threatened the federative constitutional structure of 1870-71 and placed severe socio-economic burdens on Bavaria.

Yet, in their efforts to end the war and build a new society they neglected to preserve Bavaria's historic rights which vanished in the centralization of the Weimar Constitution.
