Could it be true? If zionism had not existed, was aryan project of hitler born? Or, if Hitler had not met with jews in Austria, were his feelings of nationalism born?

[MADemocrat]

Hitler simply preyed upon an already highly-running feeling of anti-Semitism in Europe. One work known as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was used primarily as his backing. Anti-Semitism seemed to be more of a political move for Hitler, in that he was just making a hole in the European psyche larger. Hitler was certainly anti-Semitic, from my knowledge of him. But Hitler would not have been as successful in pushing as movement had the presence already been there. Aryanism had been around for quite some time. Hitler just turned it into nationalism.

Hitler played upon feelings that Germany hadn't been defeated (which would have meant the republic had betrade the country) in the form of the so called "stab in the back" theory.

He chose to blame Jews as the "stabbers" both becuase they were distinct from Germans in some cases and widely disliked as well as because some of them had significant wealth that could be confiscated.
