German Ultranationalism
In Germany, Adolf Hitler promised that he would restore people's national pride by making their country the leading nation on Earth. A skilled speaker who knew how to capture the attention of an audience, Hitler said he would do this by;
- refusing to recognize the Treaty of Versailles
- rebuilding Germany's armed forces and reclaiming lost territories
- restoring the superiority of the "Aryan race" - white Europeans of which the Germanic and Nordic peoples were the "purest" examples
