The Nazi genocide in the East was explicitly modeled on the treatment of Native Americans in the 19th century.
So, like voltage, it’s another case where Americans invented something and Europeans doubled down.

- hot_gril 3y agoInteresting thing I learned, horses actually originated in the Americas. Some of them migrated to Asia, then the ones in the Americas died out before human civilization, so only the Old World civs had them. When Europeans brought horses to the Americas, they were bringing them back.
- deaddodo 3y agoYes, Americans invented populace relocation (and the abuses that come with it). Nice to know the Roman Empire had a time machine to pull a major component of their imperial edict from. But let's pretend your warped view of history is reality...that happened 100 years earlier. If Europeans are so enlightened atop those tall horses, maybe don't do it again and 10x worse? In addition, I wasn't referring to the Holocaust...but the entire continent's shared sick desire to kill themselves off for 10km of border movement or literal dreams of world conquest.
- hot_gril 3y agoThis wouldn't surprise me, but I can't find it. I'm seeing some authors drawing comparisons, but haven't found Hitler or his party actually mentioning Native Americans. There are explicit references to Turkey, with Hitler mentioning the Armenian Genocide (as justification for invading Poland) and calling Ataturk a "shining star," along with the Nazi papers obsessing over his nationalist policies.
