Heinrich von Treitschke
Heinrich Gotthard von Treitschke was a nationalist German historian, political writer and National Liberal member of the Reichstag during the time of the German Empire. He was an outspoken nationalist, who favored colonialism, and opposed the British Empire, and the Catholics, Poles and socialists inside Germany.
Treitschke was born in Dresden. He was the son of an officer in the Saxon army who rose to be governor of Knigstein and military governor of Dresden. Treitschke went deaf at a young age, and so was prevented from entering public service. After studying at the universities of Leipzig and Bonn, where he was a student of Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann, he established himself as a Privatdozent at Leipzig, lecturing on history and politics. At one point he became very popular with the students, but his political opinions made it impossible for the Saxon government to appoint him to a professorship.
