Protective associations represent a specific manifestation of nationalism of the latter half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The first associations of this type were being established primarily in the German-speaking environment within the Czech lands. The National Union for Southwest Moravia and the National Union of Pošumaví made it their goal to care for Czech communities on the ethnic border from the Czech-majority town of Plzeň to German-dominated Brno. Like their earlier German counterparts, they strived to advance minority education and culture. They sent journals and material as well as financial help to the threatened areas to reinforce the national consciousness of the local population. The activity of protective associations should not only be interpreted by judging the organisation as a whole; regional differences should also be respected.
