Invading other countries + Breaking treaties
In order to coordinate their military responses, twelve European and North American nations created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, in 1949.
Hitler tested the will of western democracies in the 1930s through a series of aggressive actions. He remilitarized the Rhineland, violated the Treaty of Versailles by building up Germany's military, annexed Austria, and made territorial claims on Czechoslovakia. These actions were met with limited resistance from the western democracies, which emboldened Hitler and contributed to his belief that they would not intervene to stop his expansionist plans.
During the 1930s, Italy and Germany were very aggressive towards other countries. The European democracies responded by letting them know they wouldn't tolerate the aggression.
Western democracies often hesitated to stop aggression due to a combination of factors, including the desire to maintain peace following the devastation of World War I, economic constraints, and a belief in diplomacy over military intervention. The policy of appeasement, particularly in the lead-up to World War II, reflected a hope that concessions could prevent larger conflicts. Additionally, the rise of authoritarian regimes and their aggressive actions were underestimated, leading to a delayed response until the threat became undeniable.

It doesn't have to be Adolph, it could be any past conqueror. They all had one thing in common; military force to conquer. Ghengis Khan used horses, Hitler used tanks, the ends justified the means...they were doing the same thing...military aggression.
Yes
Sanctioned aggression refers to aggressive actions that are officially approved or deemed acceptable by a governing body or authority, often justified by laws, policies, or social norms. This can include actions like military interventions or law enforcement responses. In contrast, unsanctioned aggression encompasses actions that are not authorized or accepted by any formal authority, often viewed as illegal or unethical, such as acts of violence or terrorism. The distinction lies in the legitimacy and approval of the aggressive actions by societal or institutional standards.
Violent military conflicts
The League of Nations failed to prevent German and Italian aggression primarily due to its lack of enforcement power and the absence of key nations, such as the United States. It struggled to achieve consensus among member countries, leading to ineffective responses to acts of aggression. Additionally, the League's reliance on collective security was undermined by the unwillingness of member states to commit military resources, allowing aggressor nations to act without fear of significant consequences.
The plan is called the European Deterrence Initiative (EDI), formerly known as the European Reassurance Initiative (ERI). The goal of EDI is to enhance the U.S. military presence in Europe to deter Russian aggression and strengthen NATO alliances.
