In 1932, the German government announced it would no longer adhere to the treaty's military limitations, citing the Allies' violation of the treaty by failing to initiate military limitations on themselves as called for in the preamble of Part V of the Treaty of Versailles.

In March 1935, Adolf Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles by introducing compulsory military conscription in Germany and rebuilding the armed forces. This included a new Navy (Kriegsmarine), the first full armoured divisions (Panzerwaffe), and an Air Force (Luftwaffe).

In June 1935, the United Kingdom effectively withdrew from the treaty with the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement.

In March 1936, Hitler violated the treaty by reoccupying the demilitarized zone in the Rhineland.

In March 1938, Hitler violated the treaty by annexing Austria in the Anschluss.

In September 1938, Hitler, with the approval of France, Britain, and Italy, violated the Treaty by annexing the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.

In March 1939, Hitler violated the treaty by occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia.

On 1 September 1939, Hitler violated the treaty by invading Poland, thus initiating World War II in Europe.
