Following the Treaty of Versailles, European nation-states were faced with the challenge of instilling national loyalty in their new borderlands, where fellow citizens could differ dramatically from one another along religious, linguistic, cultural, or ethnic lines. Peripheries at the Centre reveals how Prussia, and later the German Empire, used educational policy to promote national identity along its geographical margins. It shows how policymakers sought to cultivate ideal German students who, it was hoped, would help to usher in a new, peaceful era in European history while reinforcing their status as German citizens.
