Germany was considered one of the most racist countries in the world during World War I and World War II. Nazi Germany was previously known as the German Reich, which lasted for ten years from 1933 and was later changed to Greater German Reich, which lasted for two years from 1943. It was governed under a dictatorship when it was taken over by the Nazi party, spearheaded by their leader, Adolf Hitler. Nazi Germany was believed to be the successors of the early Holy Roman Empire, which lasted from the eighth century to the early 1800s. The Germans saw themselves as the master race, a pure race that was superior to the other races, and this notion led Germany to declare the second World War.
Since the early 1930s, Nazi Germany made extreme territory requests that resulted in battles and war if the opposite party did not bow to their requests. When Germany conquered Austria, several good examples were they took Anschluss territory to be their own in 1938. In the span of that year, they acquired Sudetenland territory in Czechoslovakia when they demanded it. The following year, they made Slovak states Moravia and Bohemia, a protectorate of Germany in the Czech lands. In 1939, they attacked Poland after they signed the non-aggression pact that was agreed upon with the Soviet Union, which is the present Russia. After acquiring these territories with brutal force, they would utilize labor and raw materials to their selfish goals and ambitions.
Germany and its allies, the Axis powers, had significant control of Europe by 1941. This was when Germany and the Axis powers decided to launch World War II, which was successful when they first attacked the Soviet Union. Still, after the Soviet Union partnered with the United States to form the Allies, the resurgence fought against the Axis to end World War II in 1945. The Axis powers comprised Germany, Japan, and Italy. They previously went by Rome-Berlin Axis, and they were a military coalition formed to overthrow other governments of states that they deemed inferior. They battled against the Allies forces during World War II. The term Axis came to be when the initial members Italy and Germany, came together to have the rest of the European states revolve around their rule and territories. Benito Mussolini declared the decision. The initiative was followed by the agreement of the Anti-Comintern Pact, which joined Japan into the Axis power. Hungary and Spain would soon join the Axis after signing their respective acts to Nazi Germany.
According to Hobson (2021), one must know the historical association between Europe and modernity. He argued that most accounts of modernity and globalization are not Eurocentric. If one can conceive modernity as a singularity, not European origin, then modernity need not entail Eurocentrism. Eurocentric is centered especially on Europeans, which focuses on understanding the world in terms of European standards and experiences. The term Eurocentric when applied historically, can be used as a reference of an apologetic stance that is biased towards European colonialism (McClintock, 1995).
