The size of the target country is somewhat less significant to me than the explicit justification for the war involving invocation of a set of translations and transpositions of the whole set of Nazi expansionist arguments (lebensraum, Volksgemeinschaft, and Blut and Boden), with a twist on the Dolchstoßlegende mixed in.


Writing it in german does not change that those concept are fundamental for alot of border disputes.

The pretense is not what is interesting but the sheer size of the endeavour.

I can't think of another country of any kind, much less a major power, overtly invoking the whole set since Hitler, but if it's so common, please list the examples you are thinking of.
