Heinrich Gotthard von Treitschke was born in Dresden, Germany. He was a German historian and political writer. He was an outspoken nationalist who favored colonialism, and opposed the British Empire, and the Catholics, Poles and socialists inside Germany. 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. He wrote several books include: Treitschke's History of Germany in the Nineteenth Century, Treitschke: His Life and Works, Germany, France, Russia, and Islam, The Confessions of Frederick the Great, and Politics.
