Partially, it was because at the time many felt that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were too severe, however, the bigger reason was the fear of war which many politicans of the time felt, since the memory of the horrors of WWI was still felt.

The country that would have had to act - and quickly - was France. (The French had troops only 60-70 miles away). However, France was deeply divided at the time between Left and Right and was heading for a general election. It was in a particularly bad position to undertake any vigorous action in foreign affairs.

Additionally, the economic resources of the Rhineland, particularly its industrial capacity, were crucial for France's recovery and stability in the post-war period.

Would you regard reoccupation of the Rhineland a success for Hitler of a failure for France and Britain?

Both, Hitler calculated correctly that France & Britain would not interfere. France & Britain had lost their joint resolve to prevent this action. Eventually any German leader would have forced the French & British to back-down on the demilitarization of the Rhineland. However, Hitler did this unilaterally & in a surprise action without negotiating with the French or British. This is an early indicator of the methods that Hitler will use in the future.

Why asbestos Germany and reoccupation of the Rhineland a significant turning point toward war?

It was against the Versailles Treaty. The Rhineland was suppose to be a demilitarized zone with no German troops. Hitler chanced putting troops into the Rhineland but fear an attack from France. He would send around 32,000 troops to be stationed in the Rhineland, to be ready if France would attack but no such thing happened. France would appease Hitler, allowing him to break the Versailles Treaty.
