Lebensraum was a German word made popular by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, which literally means "living space". Lebensraum is a policy of expanding the territory of Germany, particularly to the east. Under Hitler's rule, lebensraum became the political rational behind the Nazis conquest of territories lost by the Treaty of Versaille, which ended World War I.
