Kulturkampf

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Kulturkampf

German word for a policy introduced by Chancellor Bismarck in Germany in 1873 that isolated the Catholic interest and attempted to reduce its power in order to create a political coalition of liberals and agrarian conservatives. The alienation of such a large section of the German population as the Catholics could not be sustained, and the policy was abandoned after 1876 to be replaced by an anti-socialist policy.
