Alfred Rosenberg lays out the demands that are placed on Europe (from his speech "The Crisis and the Rebirth of Europe", given at the Volta Congress in Italy in November 1933):
"The demands placed on Europe are as follows: Europe stands as a unified political power before Asia and Africa; Europe recognizes the spirit and nature of all races and all existing cultures, and refrains from seeking to impose the spiritual life of white people upon peoples of other races; finally, Europe recognizes the great nations and states of the yellow race and their right to exist, though Europe must also unanimously secure dominion over those Asian-African territories that its people require, all the more so since the peoples in question do not appear capable of self-governance.
Europe can present a united front politically and economically to the outside world only if it recognizes the deepest law of its existence—the fourfold structure of its cultural soul [in the nations of France, Italy, England and Germany]—and grants every tree of life the right to grow and flourish according to its own strength, as a fulfillment and a right.
It is a law of self-preservation for the whole when the currents of power of these great nations stand back-to-back rather than against one another: Germany toward the east and northeast, France toward the south, Italy toward the southeast and east, and Great Britain directed across the seas; any obstruction of the activity of one of the great European cultural forces would have to be regarded by all three others as an attack on their own vital interests and met with a corresponding response.
Only then can a European unity emerge—amidst a spiritual diversity that must never be suppressed—within which the smaller nations can likewise fulfill their existence on their own soil; only then will this unity be able to manifest itself outwardly, toward other continents and races.
If we fail to achieve this, then we will all face the fate of Sparta and Athens—a fate we will have brought upon ourselves, and thus also deserved."
