The concept of nationalism — in particular Nazi ideas of uniting all German-speaking peoples and creating "Lebensraum" (living space) — gave Hitler an ideological justification for invading other countries. He framed annexations (Anschluss, Sudetenland, etc.) and territorial expansion as restoring and protecting the German nation, not as lawless aggression.
