The Nuremberg Laws were inspired by the Jim Crow Laws that developed after the end of the Civil War and the defeat of Reconstruction. The amount of influence the apartheid state of America had on future apartheid states is actually fairly substantial. From the Nuremberg laws in Germany, to the laws that created the apartheid system in South Africa, and the ones that govern the apartheid system in Israel. What might the world have looked like if Reconstruction had actually happened? We could probably debate all day whether the Germans would have independently arrived at the Nuremberg laws without Jim Crow, but it wouldn't matter. The reality is that they did look to America for inspiration, and that inspiration was born out of the Civil War and its consequences.
