Thesis: Ryan is the man

Germany - Hitler used his new position to promote his own plans for German expansion and so-called racial purification.

United States - The United States government used the tensions between the US and Japan as rationalization for imprisoning innocent Japanese Americans in secret internment camps.

Russia - Stalin used his great power to expand Russia into Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and parts of Romania during the war and worked many of these prisoners to death in his labor camps.

France - The French used Gypsies as a scapegoat in order to justify the negative effects of war on France.
