Hitler was able to take over Austria by rearmament and reoccupation of Rhineland and incorporation of Austria. He dismembered the Czech army and occupied with Czechoslovakia with speed and efficiency.
he failed to defeat Britain with air power.
Prior to World War II, Britain tried a strategy of appeasement with Hitler. It didn't work, and Hitler ended up taking Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Hitler Invaded and took over Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy and Poland, taking over 5 countries during ww2.
The first expansion of the Third Reich under Hitler was into Austria, which was annexed without a military conflict in 1938. Then Czechoslovakia, first by taking the Sudetenland and later by invading the whole country. Hitler's first act of war was the attack on Poland in 1939.
Hitler and Stalin made a nazi soviet pact to not fight each other and invade Poland. important to Germany because that was one less enemy they had to worry about and taking over half of Poland was one step closer to conquering Europe for Hitler
Hitler believed that there was a vast majority of Sudeten Germans in the Sudeten Land, and that by taking over it he was only complying with Wilson's idea of self-determination. He also thought that if in a later war he were to be attacked by the Russians that it would act as a first line of defence. Also by taking over Czechoslovakia he would be that one step closer to Poland and his policy of expanding East.
By the time WW II started (on September 1, 1939) Hitler had taken over all of Germany plus Austria and Czechoslovakia. WW II started with his invasion of Poland.
Hitler didn't invade any countries. The Nazis did under Hitler's commands. Let's be accurate here.The Nazis invaded:the Kingdom of Albaniathe Republic of Czechoslovakiathe Federal State of Austriathe Free City of DanzigPolandFranceMontenegroSerbiaLuxembourgMacedoniathe Independent State of CroatiaBelgiumBulgariaDenmarkGreeceHungaryItalyNorwaythe NetherlandsRomaniathe Kingdom of YugoslaviaRepublic of Užicethe Bihać Republicthe Principality of MonacoFinlandSan Marinothe Ukraineparts of the Soviet UnionWhy is a matter of Hitler's words: lebensraum - literally "living room." Lebensraum is additional territory considered by a nation, especially Nazi Germany, to be necessary for national survival or for the expansion of trade. That and the Nazis were taking back what they believed had either been taken from them after WW1 or they had been denied as one German people after the breakup of the various Hapsburg monarchies.
Technically it was one country but got split into two.Back in 1938, Czech Republic and Slovakia were one country, "Czechoslovakia". Parts of western Czech Republic had lots of German people living in them; this region was called Sudetenland. Hitler demanded Sudetenland, because he felt that German people should live in Germany (at least that's what he said). The leaders of France and England met with Hitler at Munich to decide what to do.After the Munich Agreement allowed him to take the Sudetenland (even though nobody bothered to ask Czechoslovakia if that was ok), Hitler used this to weaken the Czechoslovakian government and military. About six months after taking Sudetenland, Hitler invited the president of Czechoslovakia to meet him in Berlin, where Hitler informed the president that Germany was invading. The president had a heart attack, and Germany did in fact invade. The Slovakian part of Czechoslovakia was separated out and made into its own country, but this new country was mostly under Germany's control too.Perhaps you are also thinking of Austria? Austria was not part of the Munich Agreement, which is what "appeasement" typically refers to. Austria and Germany had been forbidden from merging by the treaties that ended World War I, and Hitler chose to ignore this. The Allies were not consulted, nor did they really do anything except complain when it happened.
The US, but mainly Britain enabled Hitler to continue taking over lesser countries and defy the treaty of Versailles by not doing anything. They did not want another war, so they let Hitler blatently ignore the treaty and invade Chzechoslovakia, Poland, & Austria unchallenged.
hitler knew after taking Rhineland by surprise, he shouldnt take Sudetenland by the same way, so he asked for a meeting with League of nations ( which the league of nation never expected from a dictator) and asked for Sudetenland, and the league gave it to him, (appeasement). PS: as far as I know hitler didnt use the league of nation for anything else other then this.
