Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bismarck's Kulturkampf aimed to minimize the influence of the Catholic Church in Germany and promote state control over education and church affairs. This was in response to the perceived threat of the Catholic Church to the newly unified Protestant-dominated Germany. The policy included things like restrictions on Catholic schools and seminaries, the expulsion of Jesuits from the country, and the formation of an independent state-run Church. It was not aimed at countering French cultural influence, Catholicizing the country or expelling Jewish influence.
