The '''Haushofer School of Geopolitics''' is one of the more important influences that led to [[World War II]] and the [[Holocaust]].<ref>[https://answersresearchjournal.org/charles-darwin/karl-haushofer-influence-wwii-holocaust/ Karl Haushofer: One of the More Important Persons to Influence the Events That Led to WWII and the Holocaust] (pub. Nov 1, 2023).</ref> Haushofer invented the term ''[[Lebensraum]]''.

To Haushofer, [[war]] was a “struggle for elbow room,” which was “the last great test of a [[nation]]’s right to exist” and the “ultimate arbiter” of relations between nations (Herwig 2016, 100). The Lebensraum concept was “a critical component in the [[Nazi]] worldview that drove both its [[military]] conquests and [[racial]] policy” (Holocaust Museum 2022). The 1939 invasion of [[Poland]], which formally began WWII, was the result of a direct application of this Lebensraum belief (Piotrowski 1997). Then, in 1941, the [[Operation Barbarossa|invasion of Russia]] was one of the more tragic applications of this ideology in terms of lives lost.
The end result of this belief was [[World War II]] which, in addition to taking the lives of close to 50 million people, was the most expensive war in history (Weatherford 2009, 249). Hitler was confident that the [[Aryan|superior German race]] would prevail against [[Russia]] because the Russians were an inferior [[Slavic]] people. [[Adolf Hitler]] and Nazi racial theorists considered the Slavs as ''[[Untermensch]]en'' (subhumans);<ref>[http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/holoprelude/deruntermensch.html Der Untermensch ("The subhuman")], Editor: [[The Reichsführer-SS]], [[SS]] Office, [[Berlin]], 1942. Revised: SS Office - Training Office, SS Hauptsturmführer King, SS-Obersturmführer Ludwig Pröscholdt in conjunction with the Association of Graphic Jupp Daehler.<br>''The Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team has faithfully translated this infamous [[Nazi]] text from the original versions printed in both the [[German]] and [[Russian]] language. The purpose of this translation is for readers to understand the methods in which the Nazi [[propaganda]] machine would seek to dehumanize the victims of its [[genocide|genocidal actions]].''</ref> they were viewed as an inferior race that could not create [[civilization]] and were actually a danger to it (Bendersky 2021, 151). As Lund University Professor Christian Abramsson wrote, the key event in shaping German Lebensraum "was the publication of [[Charles Darwin]]’s ''On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life...."''}}
Russians were alleged to be an inferior race that could not create [[civilization]].
