The Appeasement of HitlerAppeasement ~ giving in to a bully or pacifying a baby ~ Keeping Hitler happy1. CONSCRIPTION&RE-ARMAMENTHitler began to build up his armed forces. In 1935 he introduced conscription (forced military enlistment). This broke the Treaty of Versailles, but Britain and France let him get away with it. 3. RHINELANDHitler marches troops into the Rhineland on 7 March 1936 The Rhineland is an area of German territory on the border with France. Germany was not to have any soldiers in this area so that the French could feel safe. Bringing soldiers in broke the Treaty of Versailles. It was a bluff – the German army had orders to retreat if they met any resistance. But Britain and France did nothing. 4. AUSTRIAIn 1938, Hitler took over Austria. This is Hitler’s birthplace and many believed it should be a part of Germany. German troops marched into Austria on March 11, 1938. This broke the Treaty of Versailles, but once again, Britain and France did nothing.
In 1938, Hitler tried to take over the Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia with a large German population. British P.M. Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler. At Munich, on 29 September 1938, Britain and France gave Hitler the Sudetenland.
6. CZECHOSLOVAKIAOn 15 March 1939, Hitler’s troops marched into the rest of Czechoslovakia. This, for most British people, was the time when they realized that the only thing that would stop Hitler was a war. Britain and France still did nothing.
7. USSR ~ NAZI PACTIn summer of 1939, Hitler began to unfold his plan to take over Poland. Chamberlain promised the Poles that Britain would support them if Germany attacked Poland. In August 1939, Hitler made a secret treaty with Russia. He thought this would stop Britain & France from helping Poland. 8. POLANDOn September 1st 1939, Hitler invaded Poland. On September 3rd 1939, Britain declared war on Germany. World War II Begins !
