Hitler's decision to send troops into the Rhineland
german invasion of 1941
After their mechanical problems were solved and the Panther tanks finally went into action in 1943, their main weakness was that they were just too good, and consequently there were not enough of them. They took longer to build and required more material than Germany had to spare. It was a high performance tank, and it required more maintenance to keep it operating. Individually, the Panther was a better tank than the Allied medium tanks (US Sherman, Canadian Ram, British Cromwell, Russian T34/85) but it could not compete with them numerically. The Panther was a tactical success and a logistical failure.
A cold war or cold warfare is a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued primarily through economic and political actions, propaganda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates. The surrogates are typically states that are "satellites" of the conflicting nations, i.e., nations allied to them or under their political influence. Opponents in a cold war will often provide economic or military aid, such as weapons, tactical support or military advisors, to lesser nations involved in conflicts with the opposing country. There were numerous non-atomic wars during the Cold War, such as Vietnam, but the one that got everyone's attention was the threat of atomic warfare.
The term "appeasement", meaning "diplomatic action which makes concessions to aggressor-nations", may be used in various ways in a sentence. One example is as follows: "In 1938, appeasement was the key to Great Britain's relation with Germany; however, in 1939, the key became war."
The UN became a war combatant itself after North Korea invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950 (see Korean War). The UN Security Council condemned the North Korean action by a 9-0 resolution (with the Soviet Union absent) and called upon its member nations to come to the aid of South Korea. The United States and 15 other nations formed a "UN force" to pursue this action. In a press conference on 29 June 1950, U.S. President Harry S. Truman characterized these hostilities as not being a "war" but a "police action". So no, the US never officially declared war on North Korea. Infact the United States has not officially been to war since World War II, which is the last time Congress declared war.
they didnt take action when they were supposed to stop conflicts, appeasement was there problem. they let Germany slowly conquer its neighbors until they were right on there doorstep ready to blitzkreig
the League placed some economic sanctions on Italy but took no real action.
It had no mandate or authority to do so.
They formed a collection to fight the Japanese and protect each other from opposing countries. =)
The first example is the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The League of Nations disapproved but had no means to stop the invasion. Mussolini then invaded Ethiopia in 1935, and the League of Nations was unable to take action against him. Finally, in 1936, Hitler began to remilitarize Germany, and there was no reaction from the League of Nations.
they did not join the league of nations
creating the league of nations.
Hitler sent troops into the Rhineland.

1: There was no UN in 1935. 2: The European nations complained to some degree. Mussolini claimed that Ethiopia started the war by attacking across the border(which was staged by his men). It seems the nations considered this a local dispute. 3. There was a League of Nations, quite toothless, which responded with a lot of talk and no action.
They invaded other countries to gain new territory
