but prussia the biggest part of germany had a restricted franchise. it was undemocratic within democratic germany. they had a rule of law. france was a constitutional democracy, and austria-hungary had a number of parliaments. that was part of the problem, because it was so divided. none of these countries were complete autocracies. they were all moving in the direction of building civil societies, and having parliamentary institutions. host: in your research, what was the most valuable place that you went? guest: funnily, probably the most vital place with the internet. what was extraordinary is that there was such a difference -- in what -- when i did my thesis in libraries. so much is on the internet. there are 11 vines of british documents on the origins of the war on the internet -- 11 volumes. all of woodrow wilson's papers are available on the internet. a lot of the american documents. and a lot of books have been scanned in. i found i can do an awful lot by sitting at home. host: what is your sense of how much history is being written today co

but prussia, which is by far the biggest part of germany had a restricted part of the fran chitz. it was in the undemocratic germany. it had a rule of law. they all did. austria and hungary had a number of parliaments. that was part of the program. it was so divided. none of the countries were complete autocracies, nay were all building civil societies -- a long way in building civil societies and having parliamentary institutions. >> your research, what was the most valuable place that you went? >> probably the most valuable place was the internet. what is extraordinary -- this is such a difference from the first research where we would have to go through libraries and the file cards and so much is now available on the internet. a all of the british documents on the origins of the war are on the internet. all of wood row wilson's papers are on the internet. a lot of the american documents are available on the internet. also books and what could be scanned in. >> what's your sense of how much history is being written today compared to when you were in school. >> where did you go t

oligarchs to come is the gospel and coming to ukraine to moscow for the oligarchs not to be cos of prussia. nothing is very interesting that briana who took the richest man in the country has suggested there should be told to europe is a good thing we don't want any violence. i don't think that the new commission is clever and all it's not clear that ukraine is going to miss europe. i don't think there's going to be a crackdown push from within russia. i think that might well be a happier outcome the majority population is pro the city might be a happier outcome or russian. it only has an intensely just turn off the top of the natural tendency on the net is that that is the elephant in the real incomes to ukraine so the pool resources are going on. i'm not as optimistic as my knee my neighbors here. i think that one possible outcome of this a civil war. because if you look at the way and it's true that the us that these are difficult to two separate in some parts but if you look idiotic all that is a stronghold political stronghold in in the east there are pro coup in iran and i'm one of o
