To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though Ger- man it was not in Germany at all, but a fief part of Poland. It had been created by the order of fighting monks known as the Teutonic Knights, who had preached Christianity with the sword to the heathen Prussians, and reducing to subjection the population, had made a realm for themselves which they filled with German colonists. At the time of the Reformation the Master of the Order was a Hohenzollern, who, conveniently announcing his conversion to Pro- testantism, turned the lands o...f the Order into a principality for himself ; and from him it had descended to the main Hohenzollern line. Thus both sections of the little state had been won by force, and one of them had come to the Hohen- 86 BRITAIN'S CASE AGAINST GERMANY zollerns by a sort of fraud. Force and fraud, as the means of building a state, lie at the root of Prussian history. Force and fraud indeed seemed to be the only means Ijy which a small, poor and divided state, surrounded by powerful enemies, could develop into greatness.
