Quizplus · Accepted Answer

German nationalists in the late nineteenth century advocated for a larger navy, colonies, and a greater share of world markets to establish Germany as a major world power. This was emphasized in the slogan "Weltpolitik" ("world politics") promoted by Kaiser Wilhelm II. While some nationalists also advocated for the annexation of Austria, withdrawal from colonies, and hostility towards minorities, these were not the primary objectives of the movement. German friendship with England, while occasionally mentioned, was not a central demand of the nationalist movement either.
