Aryanism

Aryanism is a discredited 19th and early 20th-century ideology that falsely claimed certain populations, especially those of Indo-European descent, were biologically superior and destined to dominate others. It was used to promote racist and nationalist ideas, notably by the Nazis, who misappropriated it to justify discrimination and atrocities. Modern scholarship rejects Aryanism as pseudoscience; it is recognized as a harmful, false narrative rooted in biases rather than factual evidence.
