Winston Churchill did not criticize the policy of rearmament, but instead supported it in the face of Germany's return to might. This stand, along with opposing India's independence, are said to be the factors that isolated him politically.

Britain announced open rearmament on March 17, 1935. This decision marked a significant shift in its military policy during the interwar period, as it sought to rebuild its armed forces in response to rising tensions in Europe and the actions of Nazi Germany. The announcement was part of a broader context of rearmament across Europe leading up to World War II.
Austria was annexed by Germany in 1938 (to form 'Greater Germany'). At the end of World War 2 Austria's independence was restored.
Rearmament in Germany during the 1930s played a crucial role in addressing unemployment by significantly expanding the military-industrial complex, which created millions of jobs. The government's investment in weapon production, infrastructure, and military training programs led to a reduction in joblessness from the devastating effects of the Great Depression. This policy not only stimulated economic growth but also fostered a sense of national pride and unity, as the populace rallied around the idea of rebuilding Germany's military strength. However, this rearmament ultimately contributed to the aggressive expansionist policies that led to World War II.
