Since the rise of National Socialism in 1933, scholars have attempted to understand its origins. Yet, in an attempt to avoid the stigma attached to the earlier Sonderweg (special path) argument, discussions of National Socialism's origins within Germany's intellectual heritage have largely become taboo. However, National Socialism cannot be properly studied without examining Germany's intellectual heritage, as National Socialism represented an amalgamation and evolution of Germanic philosophy and theology. Due to the foundational trauma of the Thirty Year's War, German nationalism was explicitly linked to philosophy and theology, as German nationalism evolved from the Protestant theological movement of Pietism and Immanuel Kant's conversion of Pietism's principles into a secular philosophy. Thus, due to historical factors, German nationalism became an idea that sought a utopian end goal of `true unification', the feeling of community and unity through rebirth into a collective German identity instead of political, territorial, or cultural unification. Therefore, two separate Germanys existed simultaneously. One existed as the rational and physical state of Germany that actually existed as a political, territorial, and cultural entity, while the other existed as the irrational and utopian dream of German nationalism found within German philosophy. Periodically, the two Germanys merged as the irrational utopian dream transmuted itself into physical reality, such as 1814-18, 1848, and 1914. Yet, for various reasons, these attempts to realize the utopian dream of German nationalism failed to materialize. Each time this dream Germany was rebuked, it further radicalized, but never died. Despite this, National Socialism, which was the ultimate radicalization of this utopian dream, could not have risen without the destruction of rational Germany following the defeat in World War I, and the collapse of the Weimar Republic after the American stock market crash. Faced with prospect of a communist revolution, the German populace once again returned to the utopian dream of a people's community.
