| Abstract | Examines the ideological mindset that resulted from the German victory over the French at Sedan in September 1870. . . . The stunning success of the victory. . .and the founding of the German Empire in January 1871 caused Germans everywhere to exude a deeply felt pride in nationhood, exuberance for chauvinistic myths, fervor for Fatherland-based symbols, and jingoistic enthusiasm for mementos, monuments, mausoleums and megaliths. . . . Our focus in this essay is concentrated in but not restricted to, the Midwest, meaning the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri, and to a lesser extent Ohio and Indiana. |
