Quotes by Hugh Seton-Watson (?)

“After the defeat of the German Revolution in 1848 German Nationalism lost much of its original liberalism. Worship of State and Race began to predominate over the principle of Liberty, taken by the Germans from the French Revolution. The Austro-German bourgeoisie of Vienna and Bohemia turned its back on liberalism, and plunged into an orgy of intolerant romantic nationalism. Liberalism was left more and more to the Jews who, as a socially inferior group, were naturally more inclined to see the value of individual liberty and equality than the Germans, intoxicated since the victory of 1870 by a sense of the strength of the German people.”
― Hugh Seton-Watson, Eastern Europe Between the Wars: 1918-1941
