rimland

...His theory, which claims that the competition between nations for a living space on Earth can be scientifically explained by political geography, economic geography, and the underlying physical geography, claims that the world is governed by four integrated regions: Pan-America, Pan-Asia, Pan-Euro-Africa, and Pan-Russia. Of these, only the Pan-Euro-Africa region controlled by Germany could develop into both a continental and maritime region, and developed the geopolitics that became the ideological basis of Nazi Germany. In contrast, Anglo-American geopolitics is diverse, including British H.J. Mackinder, who also adopted the continental power theory but advocated geopolitics from a position of fear of German domination, American A.T. Mahan, who emphasized America's maritime strategy from the perspective of maritime power theory, and Nicholas J. Spykman (1893-1943), who called the contact zone between continental and maritime powers the rimland and attempted to justify America's pursuit of national interests in terms of power politics in the theory of the balance of power between the rimland, consisting of the Japan-Germany-Italy axis, and the allied powers of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union. After World War II, geopolitics that emphasized the importance of the Arctic, the loss of North America's isolation, and the growing potential of the continent, as well as geopolitics that combined with American nuclear strategy and emphasized only the Caribbean, Japan, Western Europe, and Australia among the rimlands, emerged, but these were generally viewed as partial theories of political geography.
