The master race (German: die Herrenrasse) was a concept thought up in the United States and adopted as Nazi ideology which holds that the Aryan Races (including the Nordic peoples), represent an ideal and "pure race". It derives from 19th century racial theory, which posited a hierarchy of races placing Aboriginal Australians and "African savages" at the bottom of the hierarchy while Aryans (primarily Northern and Western Europeans consisting of Germans, Swedes, Icelanders, Norwegians, Danish, Northern French, English and Dutch) at the top, and Southern Europeans (Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) somewhere in the middle.
