Poland.

Perhaps the questioner and original answer contributor are thinking of WW2. The first "invasion" in WW1 was when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia on July 28, 1914. Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939 to start WW2.

What countries did Hitler invade before 1939?

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.

Where did Germany invade Britain in world war2?

Germany never invaded Britain during World War II. Operation Sea Lion, the plan to do so, was put on hold when the air raids meant to weaken the nation prior to invasion was unsuccessful in its goal. And then Germany opened the Russian front and America joined war.


Did Germany declare war on Great Britain during World War 2?

No. Britain decalred war on Germany, after the German invasion of Poland, and the German refusal to withdraw from the invasion as demanded by the British. The only nation Germany declared war on in all of WWII was the United States. Hitler's usual modus operandi was to invade your country, then let you figure out for yourself that you were at war. Since this was impossible in the case of the United States, Hitler had to settle for a declaration of war to express his displeasure.


Did Britain's location helped the nation in the war with Germany?

Yes, because Germany could only invade England by sea. If they did this, the RAF could greatly reduce the invasion force with bombers. This fact led to the Battle of Britain, where the Germans tried to destroy the RAF so they could launch Operation Sealion, the invasion of Britain by sea. Operation Sealion was never launched because the RAF succeeded in holding off the Luftwaffe and survived.

Why did Germany invade France at the beginning of world war 2?

Germany's goal was to control all of Europe. At the beginning of the war, it was only at war with France and Britain, as well as Poland, but that country was quickly defeated. To further its goal, Germany invaded France first because an invasion of Britain would take more planning and it would be suicide to get another nation involved while the only nation bordering it that wasn't its ally or extremely neutral (Switzerland) was still in action. It knew that a two front war was what made them lose World War I.
