Stereotypes of Germans

Germans were characterised as rapacious Huns during the First World War. This followed the Kaiser's Hun speech during the Boxer rebellion.[1]

Stereotypes of Germans include real or imagined characteristics of the German people used by people who see the German people as a single and homogeneous group.[2][3]
