==History==

===Before WWI===

The Völkisch movement emerged in the late 19th century, drawing inspiration from German Romanticism and the history of the Holy Roman Empire, and what many saw as its harmonious pecking order. The delayed unification of the German-speaking peoples under a single German Reich in the 19th century is cited as conducive to the emergence of the Völkisch movement. Thus, faced with political and economic developments in Germany during this period, a certain number of thinkers took refuge in nostalgia for a ~~mythified~~ and magnified past. These thinkers attempt to resurrect a historical moment in which the Völk was united and not divided into multiple social categories. The German Empire, to them, does not meet these expectations, because it is not turned towards the return to rural areas, but is moving towards industrialization and its economic and social corollaries. Paul de Lagarde in particular proclaims himself the main adversary of Bismarck, of the "~~attrophied~~" newly unified state and of parliamentarism. He aspires to the creation of an imperial pomp, with the creation of a secret emperor, endowed with the attributes of Luther and Frederick Barbarossa, who would be both an enlightened legislator and Führer of the people, but who would in no way be a representative of the Prussian dynasty. The völkisch movement started ~~penetratiing~~ universities, where History was being sifted through its ideology.

Line 119:

According to German nation theorists, the term "Volk" (meaning "people" in German) referred to a higher entity, such as nature or the universe, and was linked to a specific territory, history and landscape. Völkism supported the idea of a social hierarchy based on the depth of each individual's connection to the "Volksgeist" (the spirit or soul of the people).

===Obsession for ~~germanic~~ roots===

===Obsession for Germanic roots===

Völkism is interested in the history and roots of Germany and Germans. They believed in the purity of the Germanic "race" and relied on anthropology and philology to support this belief. They also saw racial purity as crucial to Germany's survival. Finally, some völkisch thinkers were interested in Germany's medieval history and wanted modern Germany to be inspired by it.

===The Reich surrounded by ~~ennemies~~===

===The Reich surrounded by enemies===

Völkism perceives the world to be populated by enemies and believed that Germany had to deal with this growing hostility. They ~~analyzed~~ the period preceding the First World War and some followers attributed the causes of the conflict to the decision of William II not to renew the reinsurance treaty - Bismarck's attempt to continue to ally with Russia following the old agreement of the three emperors, while at the same time maintaining the Triple Alliance.

===Völkisch religion===

Some in the völkisch movement sought to return to paganism or a form of neopaganism, inspired by ancient Germanic mythology. Others supported a völkisch version of Christianity, viewing Christ as an Aryan or descendant of Atlantean lineages established in Galilee. Some versions of this völkisch religion of Christianity presented the main episodes of the New Testament in a warrior form. Still others considered that the Bible contained a hidden teaching on the dangers of miscegenation for the ~~vigor~~ of the Aryan "race" and that this teaching was the foundation of the Aryan religion passed down from generation to generation by initiates such as Christ , the Templars and the Rusicruxians.
