Pan-Slavism pioneered continental geopolitics nearly four decades before Pan-Germanism.

Evidence

Pan-Slavism, the first of the panisms (see Hoetzsch, Russland, Berlin, 1913, p. 439), expressed these geopolitical theories almost forty years before Pan-Germanism began to “think in continents.” The contrast between English sea power and continental land power was so conspicuous that it would be far-fetched to look for influences. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2392

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s scaffolding of race-thinking and nationhood — the sequencing of panisms is part of how continental/blood-and-soil ideologies prefigured later exclusionary nationalism.
