Nationalist Activism

For other meanings of activism, see Activism.
The Nationalist activism was an elitist political movement of the early 20th century in Scandinavia, Finland and Balticum. The Activists advocated in brief a close cooperation with Imperial Germany, and active support of Germany's military aims — primarily directed against Imperial Russia, Bolshevist Russia and the Soviet Union. The activism was revived in both Finland and Sweden in connection with the Winter War. This activism was ideologically related, although distantly, to the thoughts that would result in Fascism in Italy. Activists were often ardent anti-Socialists and deeply suspicious of democracy and parliamentarism. In Scandinavia, activist policies were judged unsuccessful when occasionally (half-ways) implemented, as in the years before the dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway and in Sweden in the first two years of World War I; but in Finland the Activism was seen as successful in establishing the White Guards, the Germany-trained Jgers, the victory in the Finnish Civil War, and the thereby secured independence. While in Finland the activism would continue in movements of the interbellum: the Academic Karelia Society, the Lapua movement and the Patriotic People's Movement; in Balticum and Sweden it did hardly survive outside of some narrow circles of military officers, industrialists and nobles with political ambitions.
