The Nazi's got the term, and concept, 'final solution' from a Canadian:
(This is why there was a fair bit of anger in Canada when Civ 6 added Wilfred Laurier as Canada's leader.
EDIT: I transposed Laurier and MacDonald here, as someone pointed out. The above quotes are from Duncan Campbell Scott, as Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs under MacDonald. Laurier was a key architect of the Residential School system. TLDR; MacDonald started the genocide, Laurier built upon it.)
The Nazis were inspired by New World colonialist, racists policies. Even Hitler admit he was inspired by the eugenics movement from the US.
I’m not disputing any of your points, but Civ 6 has Wilfred Laurier as Canada’s leader
Thank you for pointing that out, I switched Laurier and MacDonald after quoting MacDonald's Deputy. Cheers!
