Would you regard reoccupation of the Rhineland a success for Hitler of a failure for France and Britain?
Both, Hitler calculated correctly that France & Britain would not interfere. France & Britain had lost their joint resolve to prevent this action. Eventually any German leader would have forced the French & British to back-down on the demilitarization of the Rhineland. However, Hitler did this unilaterally & in a surprise action without negotiating with the French or British. This is an early indicator of the methods that Hitler will use in the future.
When did hitler invade Rhineland?
Germans have occupied the Rhineland for a considerable length of time! I suspect that the question should be "When did Germany remilitarize the Rhineland?", the answer being 1936. The Rhineland had been made into a demilitarised zone after the Great War, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, 1919. Germany had political control of this area, but was not allowed to put any troops into it. In 1936, Hitler ordered troops to re-enter the Rhineland, thus breaking the terms of the treaty.
Who grew fear of German ambition?
Great Britain, France, and Italy
What year did Germany remilitarize Rhineland?
The Treaty of Versailles prevented Germany from having armed forces in the area of Germany between the Rhine river & France or Belgium. Now we come to the contentious bit: Had Britain & France said to Hitler ' Either get your troops out of there now or else', but they didn't have the resolve to say that at the time. This was Hitlers first test of the resolve of the powers against him, and they failed dismally. I accept that hindsight is a great power, but..... -Emma - The remilitarization of the Rhineland was ordered by Hitler and carried out on the 7th of March in 1936. Hitler marched 22,000 of his troops onto demilitarised land breaking not only the Treaty of Versailles but also the Locarno Pact. As said above, Britain and France chose to take no action but for a number of reasons, 1. Economic trouble during the early 1930s meant Britain had reduced their spending on Arms and their military. Previous to the remilitarisation of the Rhineland, Britain had followed a policy of disarmament which left them vulnerable. 2. Britain believed that even combined with France, they did not have enough power to overcome Germany, not only that but also that they had already met to discuss the possibility of future remilitarisation but had decided against taking any action should it occur. 3. Britain's first priority was to protect their Empire therefore a War was not in their best interests as it would mean that the Navy would have to concentrate on other countries instead of the Empire. 4. The policy of appeasement meant Britain wished to avoid War, and the fear that a possible European War could occur also prevented them from conflict as this would help to form an alliance between two powerful fascist leaders, Hitler and Mussolini which was a dangerous risk that Britain was not prepared to take.

Why asbestos Germany and reoccupation of the Rhineland a significant turning point toward war?
It was against the Versailles Treaty. The Rhineland was suppose to be a demilitarized zone with no German troops. Hitler chanced putting troops into the Rhineland but fear an attack from France. He would send around 32,000 troops to be stationed in the Rhineland, to be ready if France would attack but no such thing happened. France would appease Hitler, allowing him to break the Versailles Treaty.

How did the German people react to the invasion of the Rhineland?
The Germans were not really phased by the United States joining the war. They knew that the biggest enemy to them was the Japanesse who had bombed Pearl Harbor a day earlier. During that time the Germans still beleved that the soviet union was close to defeat even though at the battle of Stalingrad in 1942. When the U.S. first joined in the battle in Africa, Erwin Rommel, Feild Marshal of the Africa Core had defeated them many times. When they really started to worry is at the turning point at Kasserine Pass.
