The political cartoon on page 698 of the book shows Otto von Bismarck and Pope Pius IX competing in a chess match. Explain what the Kulturkampf was. Why is this cartoon an appropriate representation of Bismarck’s Kulturkampf?
Bismarck was in favor of Realpolitik. Bismarck didn’t care about individuals, but only the state. He saw the catholic church as a threat to the state and thus wanted the threat gone. Bismarck thought that the catholics put their loyalty to the church first. This was then a threat to the state in Bismarck’s mind. He attacked the catholics by using the Kulturkampf. He stated that catholic schools must be supervised, catholic priests have to be approved by the gov. before being appointed, and said that everyone must be wed by a civil authority. Through this Bismarck wanted catholics to put their allegiance in the state first. This is all represented by the chess game because bismarck was playing a game against the pope. It was all about who had what moves to make and how the other person would respond to attacks. Bismarck did not expect the pope to play with him, in fact he thought there really would be no game at all and he would automatically win. But the pope played and won.
