I disagree with you that those semi-genocidal measures would work, as
they did not actually work in many situations (Germans, Soviets in

Problems occur when you want a docile slave labor force as the
Germans found out. When all you want the land/resources and not
the inhabitants [no need, import Africans, Chinese and Irish to
do the heavy lifting] kill them *ALL* off -- end of problem.

What a country calls its vital economic interests are not
the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things
which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat
to be a cause of international conflict.
