Abstract

Although it is never only one country that is fully responsible for the outbreak of a war, it can be agreed that the pre-war expansionist foreign policy of Germany was the triggering act behind the start of the Second World War. Therefore it is important to understand what affected german foreign policy, what role nazism played in it and what other forces could have had impact on the decisions taken in these matters. In this essay I am going to introduce the main doctrines of Nazi ideology, then examine how these doctrines actually reflected themselves in Hitler's foreign policy and discuss whether it was ideology-driven or whether ideology was only a smokescreen in the party's policy, arguing for the fact that it was to a greater extent ideology-driven. Then I will briefly give an overview of other important facts that could have influenced foreign policy besides nazism and finally I will discuss the originality of Nazi ideas.
