German nationalism
Deutsche Volk pride
German nationalism is political ideology centered on German ethnic and cultural identity, unity, and national interests.
Historically, it drove 19th-century unification under Bismarck and, in its extreme form, fueled Nazi ideology and World War II.
Contemporary usage often refers to far-right movements emphasizing ethnic German identity: The rise of German nationalism has alarmed European neighbors.
