Voborníková, Pavla ; Bečka, Jan (advisor) ; Raková, Svatava (referee)
The thesis "American Eugenics and Its Impact on Nazi Germany" is a study about influence of the American eugenics movement on the racial policies of Nazi Germany. The origin of the eugenics movement is in the early 20th century. At that time, the movement also began to cooperate at the international level. After World War II, the German eugenicists were excluded from international co-operation for a while. During this period, German eugenicists began to cooperate with the American movement. German eugenicists and Adolf Hitler with other future leaders of Nazi Germany adored American immigration laws that limited immigration of "defective" ethnic groups to the United States. American eugenics movement became also a model for its research and eugenics sterilization laws in the majority of American states. This study describes the extent of this cooperation. American eugenics movement was also related to euthenics and birth control movement. The study also focused on this connection and explains why the birth control movement was not connected with the eugenics movement in the Weimar Republic, then Nazi Germany, although, the movement cooperated with eugenicists at the international level. The study covers the time from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the Second World War.

Another important influence in American imperialism was racism. The Americans considered some nations as children who need to be raised. This issue is included in the study as well. The goal of this work is to answer the question whether manifest destiny had a greater influence on expansion than desire to find new markets for American products. Indeed, many historians believe that the economic reasons led to the colonialism rather than the ideals of spreading democracy in the world.
