Key Takeaways
- The term New Order (German: Neuordnung ) of Europe refers to various political and social concepts Nazi Germany sought to impose on German-occupied Europe and beyond.
- These plans intersected with the proposed extermination, expulsion or enslavement of most of the Slavic Peoples (especially Poles and Russians) and other groups deemed "racially inferior" called Untermenschen .
- There remains historical contention on the ultimate scope involved with the New Order: it may have exclusively been a continental project limited to the scope of Europe, or a broader roadmap for an eventual German-centric world government.
The term New Order (German: Neuordnung) of Europe refers to various political and social concepts Nazi Germany sought to impose on German-occupied Europe and beyond.
Planning for the Neuordnung commenced prior to World War II, but Adolf Hitler first proclaimed a "European New Order" in a speech on 30 January 1941.
Among other things, the New Order followed an emergent Nazi vision for a pan-German racial state structured to the benefit of a perceived Aryan-Nordic master race, and drafted plans for German colonization into Central and Eastern Europe alongside the continued Holocaust of Jews, Romani people, and other ethnicities deemed "unworthy of life". These plans intersected with the proposed extermination, expulsion or enslavement of most of the Slavic Peoples (especially Poles and Russians) and other groups deemed "racially inferior" called Untermenschen. Nazi Germany's aggressive desire for territorial expansion (Lebensraum) ranks as a major cause of World War II.
There remains historical contention on the ultimate scope involved with the New Order: it may have exclusively been a continental project limited to the scope of Europe, or a broader roadmap for an eventual German-centric world government.
Origin of the term
The term Neuordnung is an abbreviation of die Neuordnung Europas ("the New Order of Europe"), used by the Nazi establishment to broadly refer to a planned "reorganization" of the geopolitical landscape.
