Karl Haushofer
General
Karl Haushofer (
1869 -
1946) popularised
geopolitics, notably in the
Nazi regime. Some researchers think that by the contact of his student
Rudolf Heß, Haushofer had considerable influence on the development of Hitler's ideas of expansion. Haushofer denied strong influence on the Nazi regime and committed suicide in 1946. His son, Albrecht, was killed by the Nazis because of opposition to the government.
