General Karl Haushofer ( August 27, 1869- March 13, 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 in the traditional Japanese manner. Prior to and during WWII he had extensive interaction with the Japanese and influenced their biological warfare development. His son, Albrecht , was killed by the Nazis because of opposition to the government.
