Western Civ: William Gladstone and the Kulturkampf

Writer's picture: Dalton MorrisonDalton Morrison

The Kulturkampf was a seven-year political conflict that occurred in Germany. It was between the Catholic church in Germany, led by Pope Pius IX and the kingdom of Prussia led by chancellor Otto von Bismark. It was a struggle on the part of the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck to subject the Roman Catholic church to state controls. It came into use in 1873.

What arguments does Gladstone make in favor of Home Rule for Ireland? He argues that it is only when a thirst power gets involved is when resentment will be the result. "He said that any politically ambitious clergy member or church would not be tolerated. The word roughly translates to culture war. The Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits were expelled from Prussia. In a nutshell Otto Von Bismark wanted a unified Germany and the Catholic high brass didn't."- Bartleby.com
