Hitler's first moves were to reannex/remilitarize the Sarrland in 1935 and the Rhineland in 1936, which had become demilirized zones under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. But because these territories were actually part of Germany, and because many people in both France and Britain considered the Treaty greatly unfair, little action was taken to counter Hitler's moves besides the filing of diplomatic protests. In 1938 Hitler effected Anschluss, or union, between Nazi-Germany and his native Austria. This union met with little Austrian resistence, none of which was armed, although Austria has for decades been unwilling to admit her deep level of involvement and commitment to the Nazi regime. Probably the most notable territory would be the Sudentenland, which was essentially the heavily German-populated area of Czechoslovakia right on the border with Germany and Austria. In a failure to stand up to Hitler and in keeping with a long history of the Czechs getting screwed over by the British (it actually is interesting, although almost certainly coincidental), Neville Chamberlain permitted Hitler to take the rest of Czechoslovakia shortly after occupying the Sudentenland. I should point out that I am part Czech, speak some Czech, and have lived and studied in the Czech Republic so my opinions are admittedly rather biased. Despite a willingness and ableness to fight (the Czechs actually had one of the most advanced and certainly one of the best equipped armies in the world) Czech president Benes believed that without Western support a war against Nazi Germany was hopeless, so when the Munich Agreement was signed--without even consultation of the Czechs--the army did not offer up any resistence. Not to mention the fact that many of the Sudeten Deutscher--the Sudeten Germans living in Czechoslovakia--actually supported the Nazis. By late 1938, Hitler ordered the invasion of the rest of the Czech lands, met privately with Slovak president Tiso and was guaranteed complete Slovak support in exchange for Slovakian independence, and again the West refused to help the Czechs. So the rest of Bohemia and Moravia became a Protectorate of the Reich. And of course, in 1939 Hitler invaded Poland and within 6 weeks had conquered the entire Western part of the country so before 1940, Poland was no more. Large flat plains, a simultaneous Soviet invasion from the East, and once again no real help from the West led to Poland's quick fall. So, to list them: 1935: the Saarland 1936: the Rhineland 1938: Anschluss with Austria the Sudetenland--later all of the Czech lands 1939: Poland (WWII did not officially start until the Nazi invasion of Poland)
