Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the factors influencing Hitler and the Nazi Party in the evolution of an aggressive expansionist foreign policy towards the USSR, and desire for alliances with Italy and Britain, during the 1920s. Discusses the extreme anti-Bolshevik antisemitism of Dietrich Eckart and Alfred Rosenberg, the imperialist ideology of the prewar Pan-German movement (which was also antisemitic), and geopolitical theory. Concludes that the party's antisemitic ideology played an important role in the decision to seek territory in the East. However, at this time, Hitler's theories of world domination by the Aryan race did not necessarily imply German world conquest. The consistency of Hitler's basic strategy from the 1920s on strengthens the claim of the intentionalist school that his goals were well-defined from the early days of the Nazi Party.
