How did Hitler go against the Treaty of Versailles by invading Rineland?

Answer 1

The moment that Hitler came into power, he stopped paying reparations to the Allies. The treaty of Versailles stated that Germany was to pay 6,600,000,000 pounds over a period of 66 years. In 1924, Stresemann signed the Dawes plan which meant that Germany could pay what she could actually afford each year, starting with a sum of 50 million pounds.

When Hitler stopped paying reparations, he took the money that should have gone to the Allies and put it straight back into the German economy.


He then disregarded the Arms restrictions put on Germany in the Treaty and built the army up from 100,000 men to 900,000 men.Not only did Hitler want to turn Germany into a war machine, but this increase in infantry provided more jobs for the thousands of unemployed Germans.


After making an appeasement with Britain and France, Hitler re-militarised the Rhineland. The Treaty of Versailles stated that the Rhineland was to be completely demilitarized and occupied by Allied armies for 15 years. After signing the Munich Treaty with Britain, France and Italy ( Chamberlain, Dalandier and Mussolini ) the French withdrew their troops from the Rhineland. Hitler used the Rhineland to test his boundaries and see if the Allies would interfere. They did not.


Hitler made an alliance with Austria. The Treaty of Versailles said that Germany was not allowed to unite with Austria, her German speaking neighbour, and create one German nation. Hitler did it anyway.

Answer 2

He didnt really invade it. Under the treaty it was demilitarized meaning no troops can go in the region. Hitler just decided to just send a large army in their for no reason what so ever. He was only suppose to be limited to 200,000 soldiers but that didnt work out very well

Answer 3

he went back to militarism, he annexed countries, like chezchoslovalkia(don't know how to spell it) and invaded Poland.
