LEBEN IN EUROPE
The German concept of Lebensraum (German pronunciation: [ˈleːbənsˌʁaʊm] ( listen), 'living space') comprises policies and practices of settler colonialism which proliferated in Germany from the 1890s to the 1940s. First popularized around 1901,^[2] Lebensraum became a geopolitical goal of Imperial Germany in World War I (1914–1918) originally, as the core element of the Septemberprogramm of territorial expansion.^[3] The most extreme form of this ideology was supported by the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and Nazi Germany. Lebensraum was one of the leading motivations Nazi Germany had in initiating the Second World War and would continue this policy until the end of World War II.^[4]
Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power, Lebensraum became an ideological principle of Nazism and provided justification for the German territorial expansion into Central and Eastern Europe.^[5] The Nazi Generalplan Ost policy ('Master Plan for the East') was based on its tenets. It stipulated that Germany required a Lebensraum necessary for its survival and that most of the indigenous populations of Central and Eastern Europe would have to be removed permanently (either through mass deportation to Siberia, extermination, or enslavement) including Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Czech and other Slavic nations considered non-Aryan. The Nazi government aimed at repopulating these lands with Germanic colonists in the name of Lebensraum during and following World War II.^[6][7][8][9] Entire indigenous populations were decimated by starvation, allowing for their own agricultural surplus to feed Germany.^[6]
Hitler's strategic program for world domination was based on the belief in the power of Lebensraum, especially when pursued by a racially superior society.^[7] People deemed to be part of non-Aryan races, within the territory of Lebensraum expansion, were subjected to expulsion or destruction.^[7] The eugenics of Lebensraum assumed the right of the German Aryan master race (Herrenvolk) to remove indigenous people in the name of their own living space took inspiration from outside Germany.^[7] Nazi officials and Hitler in particular took a particular interest in Manifest Destiny, and attempted to replicate it in occupied Europe.^[9] Nazi Germany also supported other Axis Powers' expansionist ideologies such as Fascist Italy's spazio vitale and Imperial Japan's Hakkō ichiu.^[10]

Als Carlos 1989 geboren wurde, lebten fast 5 Millionen Menschen im Ballungsraum von Madrid. Die Familie von Carlos lebte in einer Dreizimmerwohnung in der Stadtmitte; sie besaß kein Auto, dafür aber einen Fernseher.

Die Familie von Carlos war nicht die einzige spanische Familie, die damals kein Auto besaß. 1992, sechs Jahre nach dem Eintritt in die Europäische Union, wurden in Spanien 332 PKW pro 1 000 Einwohner gezählt. Nahezu zwei Jahrzehnte später, 2009, besaßen 480 von 1 000 Spaniern einen PKW. Dieser Wert liegt leicht über dem Durchschnitt in der Europäischen Union.
Als Carlos fünf Jahre alt war, kaufte die Familie Sánchez die Nachbarwohnung und verband die beiden Wohnungen miteinander. Als Carlos acht Jahre alt war, kaufte die Familie das erste Auto – einen Gebrauchtwagen.
