Nazi Germany's desire for aggressive territorial expansionism was one of the most important causes of World War II. The establishment of the Neuordnung had already begun long before the start of World War II, but it was publicly proclaimed by Adolf Hitler in 1941: "The year 1941 will be, I am convinced, the historical year of a great European New Order!" Īmong other things, it entailed the creation of a pan-German racial state, structured according to Nazi ideology, to ensure the existence of a perceived Aryan- Nordic master race, consolidate a massive territorial expansion into Central and Eastern Europe through colonization by German settlers, achieve the physical annihilation of Jews, Slavs (especially Poles and Russians), Roma ("gypsies"), and other people whose lives were considered " unworthy of life", as well as the extermination, expulsion or enslavement of most of the Slavic peoples and other people who were considered " racially inferior". The New Order ( German: Neuordnung) of Europe was the political order that Nazi Germany wanted to impose on the areas of Europe that were conquered and therefore under its dominion.
