| description | The Pan-Garman League was established as a pressure group of German nationalists and “defenders of national interests” in the consequence of the release of the Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty in
1890. Its founder and an important member was Alfred Hugenberg, who managed to gain support
and cooperation of existing nationalist and colonial societies in Germany. The Pan-German League
(Alldeutscher Verband) was established owing to the Hugenberg’s activity in 1891. Although, the colonial policy of Germany was its first primary issue, its interest gradually started to shift towards the
Central Europe. The membership of the League was comprised not only of university professors,
teachers, clergymen, doctors of medicine, office workers or army officers, but also of important politicians or industrialists. The activity of the League was concentrated primarily on the strengthening
of German nationalist ideas in the internal politics of German Empire and the support of the spreading of German cultural influence abroad. The league’s core ideology was a conviction of the German
nation’s exclusive mission, right and duty to build a strong Central European and colonial power. To
this end, it pursued an aggressive and confident expansionist policy, demanded the broadening of
its colonial domination in the world, and promoted the building of a strong navy and other measures which were meant to secure the German Empire a place amongst the great powers of the world. |
