Additional information about the Brothers Grimm and Germany:
Brothers Grimm and Nationalism: In 19th century Germany, increased pride in ethnic heritage fueled the rise of nationalism, and yearning for national independence and unity. The German states had been under French rule since Napoleon conquered them in 1806. In 1871, the Germans overthrew the French and established a unified, independent country.
Work Ethic: According to the traditional Protestant work ethic, hard work and material success in this world were signs that a person was one of those selected by God for salvation after death.
