Definition
The process of making something German in character, language, or culture.
Etymology
From German + -fication (from Latin -ficatio, meaning 'a making'). This term emerged in the 19th century as nationalist movements swept Europe and nations sought to assert cultural identity.
Kelly Says
This word captures a specific moment in European history—the 1800s when rising nationalism made governments actively reshape their territories linguistically and culturally, similar to how Bismarck unified Germany partly through cultural standardization.
