On May 10th, 1940, Germany invaded France through the Ardennes forest, thought to have been impossible for the blitzkrieg tactic, and defeated France in a little over a month. It is the same forest in which the Battle of the Bulge took place four years later.

Where did the Germans invade to start world war 1?

The question as posed does not really make sense. It was the Russian defense of Serbia against Austria-Hungary's invasion that started World War 1. The German declaration of war against Russia then triggered the alliance of the Triple Entente, expanding the reach of the conflict. Once the Triple Entente was involved, the Germans wanted to invade France. But in order to do so and outflank the French forces on the German/French border, they had to invade the north of France, going first through Belgium. So Belgium was the first country to be invaded.

Why did Bismarck want to prevent France from gaining allies?

Bismarck realized that in order to unify North Germany with the South German Kingdoms of Baden, Wurttemburg, and Bavaria, Bismarck needed to be able to defeat France in a decisive fashion. Only such a defeat would fracture the historic Catholic-Alliance between France and the South German Kingdoms. As a result, Bismarck wanted to keep France isolated for two reasons, first to make defeating France easier and second to prevent the south German Kingdoms from coming to France's aid and then causing increased enmity between North Germany and the South German Kingdoms rather than promoting German unification.


Which countries did Germany invade in 1938 and 1939?

Germany took over various countries and if i am correct they were taken over in this order: 1. Rhineland -> The Rhineland was a demilitarized area that lies between the Rhine River and France border. They were easily taken over, (which was against the Versailles Treaty by the way) 2. Austria-> Austria was next on Hitler's list 3.Czechoslovakia was the next target of Hitlers. He repeatedly spoke of uniting of all German speaking people. And because German people lived in Czech. Hitler believed that he should own part of it. It was divided between Germany, Hungary, and Poland. 4. Hitler then decided to invade Poland, however Britain and France decided that they would become allies with the Polish and then WW2 began. Hopefully this helps!
