My Three Years in America
E-text prepared by Robert J. Hall
"My Three Years in America" by Count Johann Heinrich Bernstorff is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a firsthand perspective of the author's experiences as the German ambassador to the United States during World War I, focusing on diplomatic relations and the political landscape of the time. Count Bernstorff reflects on Germany's international relations, particularly with the United States, exploring the complex dynamics that played out before and during the war, including German propaganda efforts and public opinion. At the start of the narrative, Bernstorff recounts his early political education at a diplomatic post in London, instilling in him a commitment to fostering better relations between Germany and the West. The opening chapters detail the increasing tensions leading up to World War I, highlighting the German viewpoint on American indifference to European affairs and the growing hostility fueled by the English press. Bernstorff emphasizes his efforts to promote a more favorable understanding of Germany in the U.S., while outlining the challenges posed by anti-German sentiments and propaganda campaigns. His observations provide a nuanced view of the interplay between German policies and American public opinion during a pivotal moment in history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
