| Info | Sir Alfred Eckhard Zimmern was a British classical scholar and historian, and political scientist writing on international relations.
His father was a German Jew; he was brought up a Christian, and was later an active participant in the World Council of Churches. He was educated at Winchester College, and read classics at New College, Oxford. At Berlin University, he came under the influence of Wilamowitz and Meyer.
He was one of the first, in his book The Third British Empire, to use the expression "British Commonwealth" for the British Empire. He is also credited with the phrase "welfare state", made popular a few years later by William Temple.
