黄禍論
Since 1870, the Yellow Peril ideology gave concrete form to the anti-East Asian racism of Europe and North America. In central Europe, the Orientalist and diplomat Max von Brandt advised Kaiser Wilhelm II that Imperial Germany had colonial interests to pursue in China. Hence, the Kaiser used the phrase "die Gelbe Gefahr" (The Yellow Peril) to specifically encourage Imperial German interests and justify European colonialism in China.
