it’s even (at least partially) responsible for the other two!
... calling them partially responsible for the Nazi genocide is a stretch at best. If I am wrong feel free to educate me with a source.
The concept of "Lebensraum" literally stems from Manifest Destiny.
The Hitlerites were also very impressed by the Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in the USA
i’m saying this because the nazis were greatly inspired by the usa’s genocide of Indigenous people for the holocaust, that’s why i wrote "partially" (as opposed to the Gaza genocide, where the usa’s responsibility is much more direct)
obviously I’m not denying the agency and responsibility of germany in the holocaust
Ah, I see! I didn't consider that.I just thought about active evolvement by either supporting the government or supporting the genocide directly and couldn't think of a thing. But I get it now. Not sure if I would call that partly responsible, but that's semantics in the end.
