Abstract

[This chapter looks at how the earlier North American precedent—especially its brutal treatment of Indian peoples—served as inspiration, legitimation, and model for two mid-twentieth-century imperial-colonial projects. Specifically, it sketches the historical experiences of the Japanese Wartime Empire, 1931–1945 and the Nazi-German East European Empire, 1939–1945—noting how contemporaries viewed each of these similar imperial-colonial projects through the lens of the Anglo-American settler-colonial supplanting project. In both of the cases surveyed, it also discusses the inspiration provided by an American-like national myth of God-given destiny and the usage and significance of the Anglo-American colonial trope of Indian wars.]
