Surely, Professor Schmitt would not dispute the differences in principle between diplomatic relations between sovereign states on the one hand and Prussia and her allies after 1866/71 on the other. Even where a façade of diplomatic activity was kept up by a German Einzelstaat after 1871, such as Bavaria, the reality was rather sobering; cf.Reiser, K., Bayerische Gesandte bei deutschen und ausländischen Regierungen 1871–1918 (Munich, 1968);Google Scholar see also Binder, H.-O., Reich und Einzelstaaten während der Kanzlerschaft Bismarcks 1871–1890 (Tübingen, 1971).Google Scholar First-rate material on the practice of Reich-Einzelstaaten relations is to be found in: Fuchs, W.
