After World War I, as part of the Versailles Treaty, Germany was forced to dimilitarize the Rhineland, an area of land between Germany and France, as a protection for France who had been invaded during WWI. At the start of WWII, the Rhineland was remilitarized on Hitler's orders, breaking the Treaty of Versailles and acting as one of the factors leading to the declaration of war.
