	Kulturkampf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is generally accepted amongst historians that the Kulturkampf measures have targeted the Catholic Church under Pope Pius IX with discriminatory sanctions.
		Needing to counter the Social Democratic Party, Bismarck softened his stance, especially with the election of the new Pope Leo XIII in 1878, and tried to justify his actions to the now numerous Catholic representatives by stating that the presence of Poles (who are predominantly Catholic) within German borders required that such measures be taken.
		A lasting result of Kulturkampf was a heightened alienation of the craft and the state and the remaining population.

		KULTURKAMPF [Kulturkampf] [Ger.,=conflict of cultures], the conflict between the German government under Bismarck and the Roman Catholic Church.
		The promulgation (1870) of the dogma of the infallibility of the pope in matters of faith and morals within the church sparked the conflict; it implied that the pope was the defender of the church against incursions by states.
		In evaluating the Kulturkampf in Germany it is important to remember that the church was at odds with a number of European states during this period.

		He believed, apparently, that the Kulturkampf agitation would gradually die out, and the Catholic people grow weary of their struggle for "a constitutional and legal independence of the Church", now that the most burdensome of the May Laws had been withdrawn and a somewhat orderly ecclesiastical life was again possible.
		In turn the discussions awakened and fed by this movement soon led to a vigorous self-questioning among the Catholic masses as to the fact of, and the reasons for, their backwardness in academic, literary, and artistic life, also in the large field of economic activities (industry, commerce, etc.).

		The German term '''Kulturkampf''' (literally, "culture struggle", invented by Rudolf Virchow) commonly refers to the political clash from 1871 to 1878 between the government of the German Empire under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and the Catholic Church under Pope Pius IX.
		The attempts of the government at germanisating the national minorities in the German Empire included unsuccessful efforts intended to weaken the Polish language and culture in favour of the German, which had the result of further inflaming the Polish longing for national independence.
		Bismarck, in his January 28, 1886, speech to the lower house of the Prussian Parliament, emphasized that a principal purpose of ''Kulturkampf'' was to counter the influence of Polish culture in Germany.[http://h-net.org/~german/gtext/kaiserreich/speech.html]
