The treaty that ended World War 1 gave 15% of Germany's land to other countries which resulted in 5 million Germans becoming citizens of other countries. Hitler's main ambition in life was to unite all the German people into one country. Hitler was from Austria and his father was a member of the Pan-German movement which wanted to unite Austria and Germany way back in the 1800s. The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, forbade the Germans and the Austrians to unite.
The ethnic Germans in other countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia were treated badly and they complained to Hitler about being persecuted and denied their rights. World War 2 started after the Poles killed 58,000 ethnic Germans, starting in April 1939. The Poles took land away from the ethnic Germans and forced them to go to Germany.
