Thus  foreign policy under Hitler was a logical extension of the aims of the newly created German nation-state of 1871.  Trading on his domestic economic successes  Hitler relied on the traditional methods of power politics-backing diplomacy with force. Had he pursued expansionist aims alone  using specific lighting wars as threats or instruments of conquest he might have been more successful. As it was  the scheme went awry when the first phase-European hegemony-was overtaken by and forced to run parallel with the second and third phases: American intervention and racial purification. The ideology became too great a burden to bear  stimulating internal resistance  and the Allies of course determined to wage total for a total surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44956307914805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520025288","price":22.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520025288.jpg?v=1770318613","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-foreign-policy-of-the-third-reich","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
