I somewhat disagree. There was definitely a demand for more "liebensraum", people wanted out of the cities, but it was coasting off the repudiation of its debt and confiscation of the assets of the Jews and other political enemies, it was rapidly developing industry and could have continued indefinitely - except the government structure (1) had its own problems with corruption and (2) needed an enemy to direct the public against in order to distract from that corruption. Its neighbors' political and economic sanctions didn't help the situation either. Kind of similar to what's happening now with the US and many other spots in the world.
