Hitler’s Lebensraum

In defiance of the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler furthered the concept of “Lebensraum,” by broadcasting his perspective on Germany’s entitlement to European power through “re-gaining” and imperializing territories. This expansion effort became fruitful in the invasion of Austria and Czechoslovakia. Through invading these countries, rich in natural resources, he was able to rearm and economically isolate the German state.
