A Russian forgery framed Jews as plotting world domination by 1903

Evidence

The Protocols of Zion, originally published in 1903 in Russia, framed Christian Gentiles as victims of a Jewish conspiracy to achieve world domination. The belief that Jewish financiers were conspiring to defraud Europeans and Americans of their livelihoods permeated the highest levels of the US government by 1919. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 266
