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.

What was the occupation of the Rhineland in 1936 about?
The Rhineland is part of western Germany and lies along Rhine River, and extends west to the borders of Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. It had been part of France during the Napoleonic wars (late 1790's). It became part of the German state of Prussia in 1815. The land is rich of mineral resources and had a good location on the Rhine River. The location of the Rhineland contributed to the growth of the Ruhr coal-mining district. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the Rhineland had been made into a demilitarized zone. Germany had political control over the area but was not allowed to put troops into it and so the Germans claimed they did not actually fully control the area even though it was a part of Germany itself. The German reoccupation and fortification of the Rhineland was the most significant turning point of the inter-wars. The reoccupation of the Rhineland was Hitler's test to see how far France would go to secure the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Originally, Hitler had ordered to withdraw troops if France decided to attack or take action. But seeing that France did not do anything because they did not want to resort to war, Hitler continued with his plans. After March of 1936, the British and the French could no longer take forceful action against Hitler except by provoking the total war they feared. Germany needed to reoccupy the Rhineland as part of Hitler's plan to remilitarize and helped its people out of the Great Depression. It was also done to stir up nationalistic feelings of the Germans and to show that they were denouncing both the Treaty of Versailles as well as the Locarno Pact. Hitler wanted revenge for his country for being humiliated by world war one and the treaty as well, he had intentions to regain the land and freedom that Germany had lost.

Why was Germany's reoccupation of the Rhineland a significant turning point toward war?
Because Britain & France had the wherewithall to do something about it, to deny this move to the Germans, & did nothing. Had Britain & France acted together & with determination then the position would have been unequivocal: A strong united position against German rearmament. Instead Britain & France were less then united & less than determined and Hitler had all the encouragement he needed to dominate Europe with the resultant catastrophe. In hindsight it can be seen that German military power rises at an extremely high rate, but it comes from a very low base, at the time of Hitlers' remilitarisation of the Rhineland Germany was very weak militarily indeed. It might be said, therefore, that they saw the move as insignificant, and of little consequence. And it is easy to say now just how wrong this view was. I am sure, at the time, there were opinions of all shades, but primarily the desire was the avoidance of a repitition of 1914. Ultimately the consequences of this wishful thinking are far, far more serious.
