Summary "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Germany' to 'Gibson, William'" by Various is a historical reference work written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive volume encompasses numerous articles related to Germany's history, geography, politics, and notable figures, reflecting the rich tapestry of German culture and society. It serves as an encyclopedia entry that provides readers with in-depth analyses and overviews of various topics pertaining to Germany. The opening portion of this encyclopedia presents an examination of the political dynamics in Germany, starting from the decline of royal power and the ascendance of the princes during the medieval ages. It delves into significant historical figures such as Conrad III and Frederick I, their struggles with other noble houses, the Crusades, and the eventual fragmentation of power that gave rise to autonomy among various princes and states. The text outlines the tumultuous period marked by wars, shifting allegiances, and the gradual evolution of governance, highlighting pivotal events that shaped German history, including civil strife, conflicts with the Papacy, and the growing significance of cities as political entities.
