	Imperial Germans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imperial Germans is the common translation of the German word Reichsdeutsche (adj.
		However, Imperial Germans visiting the Baltic provinces in the late 19th Century, for instance, resented the claims of the Baltic Germans to be German — for the Germans from Germany, to be German meant to be a citizen of the Reich, while for the Baltic Germans, it meant cultural-historical belonging.
		The opposite of Imperial Germans is, then, depending on context and historical period, Volksdeutsche, Auslandsdeutsche, or a more specific term denoting the area of settlement, such as Baltic Germans or Russian Germans (Wolgadeutsche).

	Germans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Germans (German: die Deutschen), or the German people, are a nation in the meaning an ethnos (in German: Volk), defined more by a sense of sharing a common German culture and having a German mother tongue, than by citizenship or by being subjects to any particular country.
		The result was German colonization as far East as in Romania and Slavonic colonization as far west as to present-day Lübeck, at the Baltic Sea, Hamburg (connected to the North Sea) and along the rivers Elbe–Saale further South.
		In addition, a significant number of German citizens (close to 5%), although traditionally considered ethnic Germans, are in fact foreign-born and thus often retain the cultural identities and languages or their native countries, a fact that clearly sets them apart from those born and raised in Germany, in the eyes of the latter.

	H-Net Review: Lonnie Johnson on Nation Österreich: Kulturelles Bewußtsein und ...
		This section provides an informative analysis of the relationship of German culture to Austrian culture, the concept of German-Austria, the ambiguous relationship of "cultural and linguistic" Germans in Austria to (Protestant-Hohenzollern) Germany as well as (Catholic-Habsburg) Austria, and the development of Pan-Germanism in Austria.
		The idea of one German nation did not correspond to the reality of two political empires, and Austria, as part of the "second" German yet multinational empire, had trouble politically legitimizing itself in linguistic and cultural terms.
		The German-Austrian confrontation with "the German" as the "self" and the "other" in the nineteenth century played a much more important role in the development of the Austrian national identity in the twentieth century than the German-Austrian confrontation with the non-German nationalities of the monarchy.

		Americans might take their imperial responsibilities for running the global system more seriously, Ferguson suggests, were they not befuddled by dubious theories of economic determinism.
		However, in his nostalgia for imperial Britain, Ferguson seems to argue for an American imperialism not as envisioned by Richard Haas but rather an America remade in her mother’s flawed image.

	Liturgical Intercession at Cluny For the King-Emperors of Leon
		Two imperial documents, sent to Cluny at the time the doubled subsidy was given, and long preserved there, are extant.
		The dearth of new custumals or other pertinent evidence may exaggerate this impression, and it is possible that thorough search of the surviving Cluniac liturgical manuscripts of the mother house and her dependencies, especially the Iberian ones, might be rewarding.
		But the collapse of the imperial tradition in later twelfth-century Spain, the virtual termination of the annual census, and the diversion of royal Leonese and Castilian interest from a declining Cluny to Cîteaux and other new monastic movements, usher in a different age.
