The Addresses to the German Nation (German: Reden an die deutsche Nation, 1806) is a political literature book by German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte that advocates German nationalism in reaction to the occupation and subjugation of German territories by Napoleon's French Empire. Fichte evoked a sense of German distinctiveness in language, tradition, and literature that composed the common identity of a nation (people).
