Anti-Slavic sentiment
Anti-Slavic sentiment, also known as Slavophobia, are various negative attitudes towards Slavic peoples (a form of racism or xenophobia), the most common manifestation being a claim that inhabitants of Slavic nations are inferior to other ethnic groups. Slavophobia reached its peak in Europe during World War II, when Nazi Germany declared Slavs, especially neighboring Poles to be subhuman (Untermensch) and planned to exterminate the majority of Slavic people. Slavophobia peaked twice in America – once during the Progressive Era immigration of the early 1900s, and again during the Cold War.
