Commercial and Colonial Policies

Mary E. Townsend

The Journal of Economic History, 1943, vol. 3, issue S1, 124-134

Abstract: When Hitler based so much of his campaign of 1936–1937 for the return of the colonies upon the Fatherland's economic need of them, he was reverting to the pattern of Germany's colonial history. It mattered not that the economic value of these colonies had been proven negligible or, at least, problematical so far as any advantage in trade and raw materials accruing to the empire was concerned. He and the Nazi leaders continued to stress the economic motive of expansion and aggression; to emphasize the close connection between commercial and colonial policies which had always characterized German imperialism.
