Hitler promoted the idea of the ultimate aryan race and seems to speak of any other race as inferior. How was this not an issue with italy and later japans leaders with their alliance considering their populations full of different races?

Reader asked:


It has always been said that the Ottoman empire was “manipulated” to form an alliance with Germany, however, what I would really like to know is whether the Young Turks approved of this decision? And if so what were their main motives in doing so?

Erik G asked:


I was looking at an old history textbook and read a little significant part in a chapter about Russia. In the 16th century, Russia was surrounded by the powerful Swedes, Lithuanians, and Poles in the west, and by the Turks and Crimean Tatars in the south. It is significant that when Tsar Ivan IV (ruled from 1553 to 1584) proposed a military alliance and even suggested marriage to Queen Elizabeth I of England, the king of Poland hastily wrote to Elizabeth and begged her to reject the proposition. The Polish king wrote that “up to now, we could conquer him [Ivan The Terrible] only because he was a stranger to education and did not know the arts”.

I’m now thinking of an alternate outcome based on the above information. What if Elizabeth actually accepted Ivan’s alliance and marriage proposal? What would a Russo-English alliance bring to history? How long would the alliance last? How would this affect England, Russia, and the rest of the world?

Thanks, but actually, I did not ask for the reasons of Nazi-Japanese alliance. I asked how the Nazi regime explained to the Germans themselves that they are now partners with an “inferior”, an Asiatic race. The Japanese like the Nazis were anti-Americans but Nazism was about a lot more, with race such a huge part of it.
