This is a good article; almost like a condensed alternative to Kakel’s The Holocaust as Colonial Genocide. That said, I have to quibble with the title: Imperial America was an important source of inspiration, but it was not the only international influence, as the focus on it here implies. The Kingdom of Italy, for example, also served as an important source of inspiration and many German Fascists scoured it for models. Then there is the British Empire, and the Ottoman Empire’s violence against Armenians almost certainly influenced and encouraged the Third Reich’s own violence, but the author did not touch on any of these herein.
Don’t think that I’m trying to savage the article; it is still very much worth reading, but I have to be honest and say that it only scratches the surface.
Agreed, the role of European powers shouldn't be discounted.
