Answers
Explanation:
Nazism and race concerns the Nazi Party's adoption and further development of several hypotheses concerning their concept of race.
Answer:
Ideas of the thinkers like Charles Darwin and Herbert
Spencer were used to justify Hitler’s view on racism.
Darwin, a natural scientist, perpetuated the concept
of evolution and natural selection in which he tried
to explain the creation of plants and animals. Later
Herbert Spencer in this concept added the idea of
survival of the fittest. According to this idea, only those
species survived on earth that could adapt themselves
to changing climatic conditions. According to Darwin,
the process of selection was a purely natural and he
refrained human from intervention. But racist thinkers
and politicians used his ideas to justify imperial rule
over conquered peoples. According to Nazis, the
strongest race would survive and the weak ones would
perish. The Aryan race was considered finest by Nazis
which had to preserve its purity, become stronger and
dominate the world.
