Description
Summary:This journal's readers will know of the Kulturkampf, or “struggle over culture,” that followed the establishment, through Prussian-led war with France, of the German Empire of 1871. This self-styled German national state was achieved through the exclusion of Catholic German Austria from unification. The new nation possessed in the Hohenzollerns a Protestant ruling dynasty and, in its conservative-nationalist chancellor Otto von Bismarck and his political allies in the liberal parties, a hegemonic political elite with its roots largely in the German lands' Protestant and Jewish cultures.
