Would you regard reoccupation of the Rhineland a success for Hitler of a failure for France and Britain?

Both, Hitler calculated correctly that France & Britain would not interfere. France & Britain had lost their joint resolve to prevent this action. Eventually any German leader would have forced the French & British to back-down on the demilitarization of the Rhineland. However, Hitler did this unilaterally & in a surprise action without negotiating with the French or British. This is an early indicator of the methods that Hitler will use in the future.

What did Germany and France do to cause World War 2?

France didn't do anything, rather it failed to take steps to prevent the war. Germany spent the decade of the 1930's building up its military in violation of the Versaille Treaty, announcing for all to hear that it was willing and able to use force to take whatever it wanted from its neighbors, and that it wanted everything, and finally threatening force to swallow Austria and Czechoslovakia. through all this France, and Britain, took no action whatsoever and signed whatever Hitler wanted them to to legitimise Germany's aggressions. only when Germany openly attacked Poland did France and Britain finally realize they would have to fight in order to stop Nazi aggression. The Germans caused the war by attacking their neighbors. France and Britain did nothing to anyone, but they failed to act against Germany soon enough to prevent a wider war.Michael Montagne
