In his theory Prof. Haushofer maintains that only a strong and martially schooled people is capable of leading the way to a new era. The pacifistic, unwarlike Anglo-Saxons (Great Britain and the United States) must be replaced by the Germans, or by a Germanized Europe in the rôle of world leaders. In the struggle of races and continents which Haushofer foresees as inevitable—because he plans it—Germany ultimate triumph will depend on her ability to control the raw materials of Africa and America and the dustrial power centres of Europe and America.
Once a new, consolidated empire that reaches from Europe, the Near East and Africa to both the Americas has been established under German leadership, this empire will be in a position to undertake a struggle with the new powers in Asia. The last chapter of Prof. Haushofer's plan describes in detail an iron-clad German domination over the entire world. Only after this has been accomplished, argues the Professor, can there be eternal peace. Fantastic as it may seem, this is Haushofer's programme in condensed form.
