Militant German nationalists, who believed that Germans were the master race, were hostile to other races, especially the Jews:
- This may have been because the Jews stood for everything that nationalists loathed, which was liberalism, socialism and pacifism.
- Anti-Semitic views were presented to the German public through pamphlets, newspapers, politicians, musicians and artists.
- For example, Houston Stewart Chamberlain was the prominent anti-Semitic writers, who claimed that the Jews were a degenerate race who wanted world domination and to threaten German greatness. His book was the best seller in Germany and recieved praise from Wilhelm II.
