What is the reason for all our economic troubles? Simply the overpopulation of our Lebensraum! And in this context, I can only hold out to these critical gentlemen in the West and in the democracies beyond Europe one simple fact and one simple question: The German Volk survives with 135 inhabitants per square kilometer without any exterior assistance and without access to its earlier savings. The rest of the world has looted Germany throughout the past one-and-a-half decades, has burdened it with enormous debt payments. Without any colonies, its people are nonetheless fed and clothed and, moreover, Germany boasts no unemployment. And now to my question: Who among our so-called great democratic powers is in a position to say as much of itself?!

" In 1870 the modern German nation was created and thereafter major industries were founded that led to the full fledged industrialization of Germany."
"It is ironic that Italy, which was economically at the forefront of the ancient and medieval world, was so far behind Britain, France and Germany in the era of the Industrial Revolution. It was not until 1890 that Italy began to industrialize."
"The Meiji period in Japan (1868–1912) - brought about the modernization, industrialization, and Westernization of the country."
