What was lebensraum and how did hilter start to implement this policy?

Answer 1

Lebensraum, meaning "living space," was a key concept in Nazi ideology that advocated for the expansion of German territory to provide space for the Aryan population and ensure the nation's self-sufficiency. Adolf Hitler sought to implement this policy through aggressive military expansion, beginning with the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936, followed by the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) in 1938 and the occupation of Czechoslovakia. This expansionist strategy was justified by the belief that Germans were entitled to territories in Eastern Europe, particularly at the expense of Slavic peoples. Ultimately, these actions set the stage for World War II and the further implementation of Lebensraum through conquest and colonization.
