Explanation: The Nazis, quite famously, had a whole host of laws to enforce their notion of purity, and operated with the eventual goal of exterminating all the ‘lesser’ races.
In the same period, Spanish Fascists, Falangists, also believed in racist ideology wherein human race was a biological reality, with distinct and important traits…
… but that Spain, by being a crossroads of the world, with evolutionary pressures and hybrid vigor, had been made into a ‘superior race’ by having many different races breeding with one another; and would make a ‘super-race’ of Spaniards by continued intermixing of this variety, with all the best strengths of every race and minimized weaknesses of the same.
… fascists are weird.
Spain probably remembered what happens when you don’t outbreed. You’d think Austria would’ve remembered too since the Hapsburgs were also called the House of Austria.

Unfun fact, when they declared war, Paraguay actually had an army comparable to those 3 countries combined.
And how did that work out for them?
Turns out when you try to exterminate an enemy with 10 times your population, their army size changes.
Who could have thought?

Thank you for the explanation.
Leave the Mario Brothers out of this
I’m with the “let’s fuck everyone” side.
Maybe one day we can have people that have skin like cows or leopards… Without it being caused by vitiligo.
Humans do the most insane things in the name of made up arbitrary categories.
