Answer:
Hitler borrowed racism from thinkers like
Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Darwin was a natural scientist who tried to
explain the creation of plants and animals through the concept of evolution and
natural selection. Herbert Spencer later 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. Darwin never advocated
human intervention in what he thought was a purely natural process of
selection. However, his ideas were used by racist thinkers and politicians to
justify imperial rule over conquered people. The Nazi argument was simple: the
strongest race would survive and the weak ones would perish. The Aryan race was
the finest. It had to retain its purity, become stronger and dominate the
world.
