Abstract

Almanların sömürgeci deneyimi diğerlerine kıyasla az çalışılmışbir alandır. (Bunun nedeni) Her şeyden önce bu konu kısa bir zamanzarfını kapsar. İkincisi, Nazi Almanya’sına verilen genel önemin diğerdönemlerin önüne geçmiş olmasıdır. Alman sömürgeci yönetiminin anibitişinin sebebi İngilizlerce, Alman İmparatorluğu’nun yerel halkı veyabancı toprakları yönetmedeki tecrübesizliği olarak öne sürülmüştür.Ancak, Steinmetz bize Alman İmparatorluğu’nun ‘sömürgeci devletyönetimi’ konusunda tecrübeli olduklarını gösterir

COLONIALISM, GERMAN EXPERIENCE AND THE REFLECTIONS ON HISTORY

Abstract

The German colonialist experience is relatively a less studiedarea. First of all, it occupies relatively a short span of time. Second, thegeneral emphasis on the Third Reich eclipses other periods. In theaftermath of the abrupt ending of German colonial rule, the British evenargued that the German Empire was inexperienced when it came toruling indigenous populations and foreign lands.1However, as Steinmetzshows German Empire was experienced in “colonial statecraft.”2the essay will be unfolding a problem presented by recent scholarlyworks: debate on German colonialism and its link to Holocaust
