19th-century Anglo-Saxonism

19th-century Anglo-Saxonism was a belief that the Anglo-Saxon people - a group of people from Europe who settled in Britain and other parts of the world - were superior to other cultures. People with this belief thought that the way the Anglo-Saxons did things was the best and most correct way, and that other cultures should adopt their ways. This belief was instrumental in setting the standards for ways of life, such as in government and education, in many places.
