Hitler's racial beliefs were one of the many reasons why he lost the war.

The first reason was that he was nuts and a junky, and very ignorant.

Had he recruited Russians in his army, mainly large number of Ucranians, and many other nationalities he considered "untermensch", at least he would have contained the front on the east.

And why that obsession with Jews? That's utterly stupid, medieval.

Really, nuts.

Not only that, he was nut and he did not know a thing about war.
The party, the NSDAP, should had used him and them discard him..some terrible accident.
He was just a very ignorant lieutenant surrounded by butchers and the only way such a war cound be won was to restrict it to a great germany in central europe.

Actually he was a great leader and did many good things. Also Holocaust wasn't solely his invention.

Or is that the opposite? It is very hard to figure it out because despite your "research", you do not provide any facts to support your conclusions.
This is the map I was looking for to complement my "research", it may not be 100% real though being from Wikipedia, but the user states the data was obtained from the CIA World Factbook.

April 2008.



Am I having vision problems or Mexico and all of Eastern Europe have the same color??

I'm not sure about the context of that map. See the second page on this link for a list from an actual source (IMF). Cyprus, Greece and Slovenia were considered advanced economies by the IMF in 2008, while Mexico was (and still is) an emerging market.

Here are some GDP per capita numbers from the CIA World Factbook in 2008 (source):

Greece 30,500
Slovenia 27,300
Cyprus 27,100
Czech Republic 24,400
Estonia 21,800
Slovakia 19,800
Hungary 19,500
Latvia 17,700
Lithuania 16,700
Poland 16,200
Croatia 15,500

Mexico 12,500

Whatever that Iron Curtain nostalgic's been smoking, the picture wasn't quite accurate in 2008 and hadn't been for quite some time. 1995 maybe.

True. the veracity of that map is dubious. The author doesn't shows a 2008 source, just the main page of the updated CIA World Factbook.

Mexico might have a lower GDP, but more advanced than those countries in "sinergies".
Mexico has livable territory, oil, capitalist economy and their stronger neighbour is not about to choke them.
Plus birthrates, most people will be crinking old in those countries in no time.

Mexico was doing fine until the peso crashed in 1995. It has never really recovered from that. It has however, turned into a vision of the future. There is no middle class, just rich and poor. Certain cities do fine, others are left to decay. Geographically pleasing areas are turned into resorts for foreigners. Rural areas and smaller cities no longer serve any clear purpose. Organized crime and strange religious cults fill in the economic, social and power vacuums.

Slovenia will always be considered Eastern Europe because it's Slavic I guess
