Read the given Text and answer the following questions-
Nazi ideology was synonymous with Hitler’s worldview. Hitler’s racism
borrowed from thinkers like Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Darwin was
 a natural scientist who tried to explain the creation of plants and animals
through the concept of evolution and natural selection. Herbert Spencer later
added the idea of survival of the fittest. According to this idea, only those
species survived on earth that could adapt themselves to changing climatic
conditions. The other aspect of Hitler’s ideology related to the geopolitical
concept of Lebensraum, or living space. He believed that new territories had
to be acquired for settlement.
