Blood & Soil ideology
Blood & Soil is an ideology emphasizing a strong connection between a people's racial or ethnic identity (blood) and their homeland or territory (soil). It promotes the idea that a nation's strength and character are rooted in its native population and land, often advocating for racial purity and territorial preservation. Historically associated with nationalist and xenophobic movements, particularly in Nazi Germany, it seeks to unite people by emphasizing heritage and landscape as vital to cultural identity and sovereignty. The concept underpins beliefs that the community and country should be composed of "native" people rooted to their land.
