Question

German nationalists believed that, a. foreigners were inferior. , b. Germans wee superior and should take their neighbor's territory. , c. both , d. neither?

Answer 1

It sounds like a trick question. B) Would be a 100% right if it just said Germans where superior, you don't need to believe in taking others territory and being a nationalist. A) Depends on the foreigners Hitler had a lot of respect for the British. I'd go with B or D. If I went with D I could argue that Nationalism by definition is only a belief in that a Nation has a right to statehood and that the state is of utmost importence and taking others things isn't inherent of Nationalism.

Answer 2

Meta, B would be easier to argue. It's true that Hitler had respect for the British, but he still considered them second class citizens. In other words, he still though them inferior to Germans, but superior to others like the French.

Answer 3

As for the neighbor's territory, I'm guessing that would most likely refer to land like the Sudentenland, which Germans felt belonged to them, thus nationalism.
