What is another word for lebensraum?
Pronunciation: [lˈɛbənsɹˌa͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Lebensraum is a German word that literally means "living space". The term was used during the Nazi era to describe Adolf Hitler's plan to expand Germany's territory by conquering other countries. The concept of Lebensraum has been widely criticized because it was used to justify numerous violent acts and was a pretext for ethnic cleansing.
Today, there are several synonyms for the word Lebensraum, including "living space", "habitat", "territory", "living environment", and "home range". The term is often used in the context of wildlife and ecology to describe the space that animals need to live and thrive. However, the term's connotations to Nazi-era land-grabbing and genocide mean it is widely avoided in favor of more neutral or specifically ecological terminology.
