what is Pan German nationalism?
405448
Pan German nationalism is the idea that there should be a great German state encompassing all the people who are ethnic German or "Aryan". It is most associated with Adolf Hitler, who made this one of his key policies, calling for anchluss or union with Austria and for the Sudentenland to be handed over to Germany on these grounds.

After the unification of Germany in 1871, Germans enjoyed some of the perks of stronger well establish counties such that of France and Britain. So more then likely it was based on the new abundance of land.

As stated above Nationalism isn't a political system. It is an attitude or political philosophy that can drive a government. While nationalistic tendancies can manifest in a post war situation, it is more present in pre-war situations. The most obvious example would be the rise in nationalist policies in Germany and Russia before WWII. After WWI the world community put harsh sanctions on Germany as punishment for causing the war. This led Germans to feel resentment to the rest of the world as their economy was in ruin and their military growth was extremely regulated. This climate allowed a leader like Hitler to rise. Hitlerwas able to tap in to the anti global community feelings of the Germans. They became attracted to his rhetoric of the return of the strong German empire and called for Germans to become a world dominating super power that would last 1000 years. Another example would be the actions and attitudes of the small Balkin countries pre WWI\nYou can also see nationalist tendancies in the American foriegn policy immediately after 9/11. Our feelings were that we needed to care for our own national interestes above those of the world as a whole. This is evident in the pre-emptive strike in Iraq despite foriegn power objection. Rightfully or wrongfully so, our government took actions that (as argued) had our national interests in mind.

Most wars involve some variation of "I WANT what you have and I think I can get away with TAKING it" which is Imperialism. \n\nNationalism is the spin-doctoring brow-beating that ENABLES Imperialism\n\nNow do your OWN research for your take-home essay question as to WHY Hitler, Hirohito, Stalin, Mussolini, Churchill, Roosevelt (and the people who put them in power) roll the dice with OUR lives.

These were all properties of the Nazi movement, or Nazi Party, as it became.  Nationalism, the assumption that one's own nation is somehow more valuable or right than any other, was used to manipulate what had been a justifiable German pride, turning it into a negative thing. (Not "we are great," but "everyone else is worthless.")  Imperialism then followed rather inevitably from that: if the people of other countries are worthless or inferior, why not take them over, to improve them by making them German?  Militarism was then needed to achieve that goal, and Hitler assembled amazingly large and well-disciplined armies to carry out his imperialist purposes.  The war came, then, because the countries invaded did not just roll over and play dead, but fought back.

Hitler was a mystical minded idiot who's only claim to fame was being in the right place at the right time and taking over a bunch of simple minded already angry and bitter people who wanted revenge on the world. I bet in his book he talks a lot about WWI and God? Hitler's a joke. What influence has he had? National socialism, pah, that's barely a sentence, let alone an attempt at a philosophy. "Germans are genetically superior, therefore they must rule the world." The refutation is WWII itself: Germans lost, therefore that statement is false, therefore, done.

It has to do with Dietsch, which is what the language of Nederlands used to be called in olden times.\nAlso, remember the Wilhelmus (national anthem).\nIt contains the line\nWilhelmus van Nassauwe (William of Nassov)\nBen ik van DUITSEN bloed (I am of Dutch blood.)\nThe word Duitsen doesn't refer to Germany, but also to Dietsch.

The culture....OMG...it is so much closer to the German culture.  Look at the past, look at what happened. Also, look at today.  Those two countries, politically, are closer allies than France and Spain.

If we look to the current government in Germany, we see a something amazing taking place.  The Neo-Nazi political structure is gaining more ground with every election that takes place.  The last time I heard, the German political arena had 10% of its representatives under the Neo-Nazi party.  Why is this taking place, this day in age in Germany?  One answer, the people know that the Neo-Nazis in power will work to pass harder sanctions against the large influx of Middle Eastern immigrants coming into the Country.  These middle easterners are seen as a threat for increased chance of terrorism to take hold and shatter their way of life.  So, I guess if you are German, and afraid of losing a grip on your way of life the answer would be to join and support the Neo-Nazi party.\n\nHowever, in America, the idea of being a "Nazi" is nothing more than a representation of the ignorance within.  People who "claim" to be Nazi are just angry punks, wearing combat boots, beating up people who are "different" from them, but who don't wear the fancy robes that the Klan wear. \n\nIn both cases listed above, I think if you are a scared individual who still believes that people should be divided into different "races", and that you are in some way (insert laugh here) superior to those other "races" then by all means get yourself a pair of combat boots and call yourself a Nazi....

The first attempt at unifying Germany was Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire (843-1806 AD, aka the First Reich). Intially it was a politically cohesive whole, but after Charlemagne died the political vaccuum reverted his Empire to a loose political confederation between the various German principalities and kingdoms led by a council of the most powerful princes and religious leaders of the Empire. The Empire included modern-day Germany, the Czeck Republic, Austria, Lichtenstein, Slovenia, Belgium, and Luxumbourg and parts of Poland, the Netherlands, and Croatia as of the 18th century, and at times claimed the whole of the Netherlands and Switzerland and parts of France and Italy. The Peace of Westphalia (after the 30 Years War between Catholic and Protestant in 1648) undermined the Empire further by allowing it's member states much greater sovereignity and independence, leading to a slow decline. Wars with Revolutionary France beginning in 1792 further threatened the Empire, and Napolean's conquests caused the Empire to formally dissolve in Aug 6, 1806.\n\nThe second period of German unification was Prussian in origin. Prussian Chancellor Otto van Bismarck took advantage of threats of war with Denmark, then Austria, and finally France to coerce the smaller central German states to join Prussia, until Prussia declared a new German Empire in Versailles on Jan 18, 1871 (the Second Reich), which included modern day Germany and parts of Poland, Baltic Russia, the Czeck Republic, and recently-conquered France. Austria remained seperate. Inklings of German nationalism were evident in discrimination against non-Germans within this empire. The Prussian State was dissolved after the First World War with the Treaty of Versailles; Germany was reduced to it's present borders with the addition of an enclave in Baltic Russia (East Prussia).\n\nThe expansion of the Nazis leading up to and during the Second World War was initially, at least in name, meant to reunite all German peoples, including some enclaves in the modern day Czeck Republic (though the whole of that region was annexed) and the whole of Austria, thereby leading to the Third Reich. Although to a certain extent this expansion was tolerated by the League of Nations as allowing an ethnic group their own united government (part of what was then termed "self-determination"), once the Nazis invaded Poland (a non-German state) the Second World War began. \n\nAfter the Second World War, Germany was divided into zones of occupation by the Allies. Britain, France, and the United States pooled their controlled zones into what would become West Germany, while Soviet Russia had other plans for it's zone and remained seperate, leading to the development of East Germany. German states were limited to modern borders; Austria was made independent, Czeckoslovakia was remade, and Russia claimed East Prussia for itself to this day. German Reunification following the Cold War followed various aspects of the collapse of Soviet power, including most dramatically the fall of the Berlin Wall on Nov 9, 1989. Reunification of East and West was formalized on Oct 3, 1990, creating the modern German state.

Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as chancellor and head of state. Nazi Germany worked in close proximity with and was allies with Imperial Japan (under Emperor Hirohito) and Fascist Italy (under Benito Mussolini) under the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis, which participated in World War II against the allies, led by the United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union.\n\nThird Reich, used as a near-synonym for Nazi Germany, is the English for the German expression Drittes Reich, roughly Third Empire, but the second word is seldom translated. It refers to the government and its agencies rather than the land and its people.\n\nThe Nazi Party deliberately attempted to combine traditional symbols of Germany with Nazi Party symbols in an effort to reinforce the perception of their being one and the same. Thus the Nazi Party used the terms "Drittes Reich" and "Tausendjähriges Reich" ("Thousand-Year Reich") to connect the glorious past to its supposedly glorious future. In speeches, books and articles about the Third Reich post 8 May 1945, the 1000 years is often juxtaposed against the twelve years of the Third Reich's existence. The terms were used only briefly and dropped from propaganda in 1939, officially to avoid persiflage, possibly also to avoid religious connotations.\n\nDuring their twelve year rule, the Nazis sent massive armies throughout most of continental Europe. Ideologically, the Nazis endorsed the idea of a Greater Germany, with Berlin renamed Germania as its capital, and integration of all people of supposed pure Germanic origin. This policy manifested itself in the systematic extermination of an estimated eleven million people of racial minorities within Germany and majority populations in some other European countries (Jews, Gypsies, Slavs), political opponents (liberals, communists), social outcasts (the disabled, homosexuals), and politically neutral groups and religions (such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons), as well as opposing inhabitants and tens of millions of others as a direct or indirect result of combat.\n\nChronology of events\n\n    * Weimar Republic (includes the events leading to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany in 1933)\n    * Hitler's rise to power\n    * Gleichschaltung (for the legal measures taken by the Nazis to establish their dictatorship)\n    * World War II (with a focus on military events)\n    * Axis Powers\n\n[edit]\n\nPre-War Politics 1933-1939\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\nEnlarge\nBerlin during the Nazi era.\n\nIn the wake of the First World War and subsquent economic depression, many German voters began turning their support towards Adolf Hitler's radical Nazi Party, which made great promises of an economic, cultural, and military renewal for the fledgling country. On January 30, 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg after attempts by General Kurt von Schleicher to form a viable government failed. Hindenberg was put under pressure by Hitler through his son Oskar, as well as intrigue from former Chancellor Franz von Papen following his collection of participating financial interests. Even though the Nazi Party had gained the largest share of the popular vote in the two Reichstag general elections of 1932, they had slim majority in parliament within the Papen-proposed Nationalist DNVP- NSDAP coalition. This coalition ruled through accepted continuance of un-Constitutional Presidential decree issuance under Article 48, prevalent in all Chancellorships since October 1931.\n[edit]\n\nConsolidation of power\n\nThe new government installed a dictatorship in a series of measures in quick succession (see Gleichschaltung for details).

Hyper nationalism is an extreme patriotism. Hyper nationalism is dangerous because it results in one nation thinking it can exterminate another nation because it is superior to the other nation.  Like the person above said, it leads to things such as Nazism.

I don´tt know if i can give you six for each, and it depends where you live to determine it. It played a role in trying to prevent Germany from further invasions, acts of war... but mainly to redistribute territories to european allies and to see who was going to pay for reconstruction. Most the Allies would say:\n\nStrengths:\nGave peace to a long war.\nDemilitarization of parts of Germany\nGeographical Redistribution of Germany\n\nWeaknesses:\nThey treated Germans so bad, that they felt cheated. The established Weimar Republic failed misserably (no work, hyperinflation) and that led to the rise of Hitler to power. Germans found a lost national pride with Hitler speech.
