What countries did Hitler invade before 1939?

Answer 1

None were invaded in the military 'invasion' sense prior to 1938.

Austria was absorbed voluntarily into Greater Germany. The Munich pact that involved France and Britain allowed Germany to take over portions of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

Possibly it could be called 'invasion' in that in latter 1938 Germany did take over most the non-Munich portions of Bohemia and Slovakia - placing them under 'protectorate status', similar to the multitude of colonies 'protected' by France, Russia and Britain. In addition to Germany, Hungary and Poland also sliced off small parts of Slovakia for themselves.

Germany did not really invade any nation until Sept. 1, 1939 when the war with Poland began. Germany in this regard was late to the game since Poland, Italy, Japan and Russia had all increased their respective territories prior to Germany by direct invasion of neighbors or colonies.

Not generally known was the occupation of "Memelland" in Lithuania early in 1939. Hitler triumphantly entered the city of Memel having travelled there in the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee. This I think was his only naval adventure.
