The establishment of universal manhood suffrage and legal equality for Jews in Germany in the 1860s and 1870s gave way to the rise of political anti-Semitism to a degree not witnessed before. This study explores the heated debate which unfolded in 1881 and 1882 in the German press in response to these events.
