What reading level is What Germany Wants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mainspring, however, of Russia's policy has been, for a long time, her need of a harbor which she can use the year around and which has free access to the sea. All her great harbors are ice-blocked in winter or secluded in the Black Sea. From Russia's point of view this demand is natural and fair. The difificulty is that at present no such harbor is to be had for the asking. Constantinople has always appealed to Russia as meeting her wishes. But not to mention the fact that the Turks alread...y possess it, there are other claimants, notably Great Brit- ain and Austria, and latterly one or more of the Balkan States.
When Russia neared Constantinople in her war with the Turks, Great Britain addressed to her the following note, on May 6, 1877. " The vast importance of Constantinople whether in a military, a political, or a commercial point of view is too well understood to require explana- tion. It is, therefore, scarcely necessary to point out that Her Majesty's Government are not pre- RUSSIA, SLAVS, AND GERMANY 67 pared to witness with indifference the passing into other hands than those of its present pos- sessor, of a capital holding so peculiar and commanding a position." This has been Great Britain's attitude ever since.
