This shipping company was founded in the late 19th century, but quickly settled with other shipping companies on the European continent, despite the fact that the company did not receive such large financial subsidies as the second Austrian company Österreichischer Lloyd. Thanks to the established shipping lines to North American ports, especially to New York, the company soon began to focus on the transport of migrants from various European countries, mainly from Austria-Hungary, and could also build large steamboats designed for migration transport.

It also describes the most crucial events in connection with the level of institutions of the Empire and highest Prussian institutions. The study looks for main actors of individual appointments and examines who was instrumental in key personnel appointments. The study’s conclusions are primarily based on analysing non-published sources from the Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin-Dahlem, namely the Brandenburg-Preußisches Hausarchiv, Repositur 53, Kaiser Wilhelm II. und Familie. It is also based on reports of Austrian-Hungarian ambassadors in Berlin saved in the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Wien, namely Abteilung III. (Preußen). The author concludes that Wilhelm II’s personnel policy had three stages of development. At the beginning of his rule, he excitedly grasped the chance to “rejuvenate” the corps of generals of the armed forces and to surround himself with people who suited him — people who admired him, did not criticize him, and did not argue with him. From this perspective, he negatively influenced the state of the armed forces because (unlike his predecessors) he focused more on subjective factors rather than objective criteria when assessing the abilities of the members of the armed forces. After 1900, the second stage began, during which the Emperor accepted suggestions for promotions. The third stage — the significant decline of the Emperor’s influence on the personnel policy of armed forces — started after the scandals in 1907 and after the beginning of World War I. Wilhelm II’s influence on the personnel policy of armed forces can be (similarly to his influence on foreign and internal policies) described as chaotic, unsystematic, and in some instances even destructive, which is why he is partly responsible for the developments during World War I, including the takeover of political decisions by the leaders of the armed forces.

Due to its victories in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese war, Japan obtained a considerable empire on the Asian mainland. In this step it followed as the only Asian nation the European imperial countries. Japanese imperialism is therefore sometimes considered as an extension of the European one. On the other hand, Japanese overseas expansion was motivated by quite different reasons — especially by an effort to ensure national security. It also used completely different rhetoric of Pan-Asianism and anti-colonialism. The building of empire was perceived differently than the same process in European countries. The shape of Japanese imperialism was therefore quite distinct and had a completely different legacy as in the case of Europe.

At that time, regional policy, as we know it from the present time, did not exist, but after the First World War, the economic situation in crisis periods (post-war reconstruction, the world economic crisis) required governmental intervention.
