<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Election battles were fought ferociously in pre-World War One Germany, when most middle-class Germans still opposed formal democracy. Anti-democrats deployed many exclusionary strategies that flew in the face
of electoral fairness. They battled socialists, liberals, and Jews at election time, and they repeatedly rewrote the rules of the electoral game. With a regional case study, Retallack explores why so many Germans opposed the principle of “one man, one vote”
and how they made it easier for Hitler and the Nazis to inter German democracy after 1933.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">After studying as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, James Retallack received his D.Phil. in 1983 and joined the University of Toronto in 1987. His research interests (1830-1918) include German regional history,
nationalism, anti-semitism, electoral politics, and historiography. He has authored or edited fourteen books, including Imperial Germany 1871-1918: The Short Oxford History of Germany and, most recently, Germany's Second Reich: Portraits and Pathways. His
volume of on-line documents and images on Bismarckian Germany, edited for the German Historical Institute, Washington DC, reaches a world-wide audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
