In 1938, Hitler ordered the German army into Austria. Later that same year, thousands of Jewish shops and hundreds of Synagogues are burned down. In 1939, Germany invades Czechoslovakia. On September 1, Germany attacks Poland. France and The UK declare war on Germany two days later, and the war in Europe begins.
The German expansion during the 1930s was primarily driven by Adolf Hitler's aggressive foreign policy aimed at reversing the Treaty of Versailles and uniting all German-speaking peoples. The remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 and the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) in 1938 were key events that demonstrated this expansionist agenda. Additionally, the Munich Agreement of 1938, which allowed Hitler to annex the Sudetenland, further emboldened Germany's expansion efforts, leading to the eventual outbreak of World War II.
Appeasement, particularly by Britain and France towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s, allowed Hitler to expand German territory and military power unchecked. The Munich Agreement of 1938, which permitted the annexation of the Sudetenland, exemplified this policy, as Western powers believed it would prevent a larger conflict. However, this strategy emboldened Hitler, leading to further aggression, including the invasion of Poland in 1939, which ultimately triggered World War II. The failure to confront fascist expansionism highlighted the inadequacies of appeasement and its catastrophic consequences.
Appeasement in World War II primarily involved the policies of Britain and France towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Key examples include the Munich Agreement of 1938, where they allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia in hopes of preventing further aggression. Additionally, the failure to confront Germany’s reoccupation of the Rhineland in 1936 and its invasion of Austria in 1938 exemplified the strategy of conceding to Hitler's demands to maintain peace, ultimately failing to prevent the outbreak of the war.

The Munich Agreement of 1938, which permitted the annexation of the Sudetenland, exemplified this approach and failed to prevent further aggression, leading to the invasion of Poland in 1939. By conceding to Hitler's demands, Western powers inadvertently encouraged his expansionist policies, contributing directly to the outbreak of World War II. Ultimately, appeasement undermined collective security efforts and demonstrated a miscalculation of Hitler's intentions.
Munich Pact
Munich Pact
The first German act of aggression towards the people of the Sudetenland, a region inhabited by ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia, occurred in 1938 when Adolf Hitler demanded the region's annexation. This demand was backed by propaganda and support from local German nationalists, leading to escalating tensions. The Munich Agreement, signed by Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland without military intervention, effectively marking the beginning of German aggression in the lead-up to World War II. This act set a precedent for further territorial expansion and aggression by Nazi Germany.
