How Hitler Broke Rules and Made New Friends in 1936 and 1938

The Munich Agreement and the Road to War
This page details the events leading up to World War II, focusing on Hitler's continued aggression and the failed attempts by other European powers to maintain peace through diplomacy.
Following the annexation of Austria, Hitler turned his attention to Czechoslovakia. In an attempt to avoid war, European leaders met with Hitler and reached the Munich Agreement on September 30, 1938. This agreement allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a large German-speaking population.
Vocabulary: Sudetenland - The German-speaking areas of northern and western Czechoslovakia that bordered Germany.
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain famously declared the Munich Agreement as bringing "peace for our time." However, this optimism was short-lived. By March 1939, Hitler had broken his promises and invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia, which surrendered without a fight.
Highlight: The failure of the Munich Agreement demonstrated the ineffectiveness of appeasement in dealing with Hitler's expansionist ambitions.
As tensions in Europe escalated, Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact on August 23, 1939. This agreement included secret provisions for dividing Eastern European countries between the two powers.
Definition: Non-aggression Pact - An agreement between countries to avoid military conflict with one another.
Realizing that Hitler could no longer be trusted, Britain and France finally took a firmer stance. They vowed to protect Poland, Hitler's next likely target, in the event of German aggression. On March 31, 1939, Prime Minister Chamberlain issued a formal guarantee of Polish independence.
This page illustrates the rapid deterioration of diplomatic efforts to maintain peace in Europe and the increasing likelihood of another major war. It shows how the policy of appeasement ultimately failed to prevent conflict and how European powers began to shift towards a more confrontational approach to Nazi Germany's expansionism.
The Rise of Dictators and the Path to World War II
The 1930s saw a dramatic shift in European politics as dictators rose to power and challenged the post-World War I order. This page focuses on the actions of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler and how other European nations responded to his increasing aggression.
Hitler's Germany began to openly defy the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which had ended World War I. Instead of confronting Hitler directly, countries like Great Britain and France adopted a policy of appeasement, hoping to maintain peace by giving in to some of Hitler's demands. This approach ultimately failed to prevent another major conflict.
Definition: Appeasement - A diplomatic policy of making concessions to an aggressive power in order to avoid conflict.
The formation of the Rome-Berlin Axis in 1936 marked a significant shift in European alliances. This alliance between Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, led by Benito Mussolini, would later expand to include Japan, forming the Axis Powers of World War II.
Highlight: The Rome-Berlin Axis formation 1936 was a crucial step towards the alignment of fascist powers in Europe.
One of Hitler's primary goals was to create a "Greater Germany" by uniting all German-speaking peoples. This ambition led to the Nazi Germany annexation of Austria 1938, known as the Anschluss. Despite this clear violation of the Treaty of Versailles, Britain and France did not take action against Germany.
Example: The annexation of Austria was achieved without military resistance, as German troops were greeted by cheering Austrians when they crossed the border on March 12, 1938.
Quote: "Without firing a shot, Germany had successfully annexed Austria."
This page illustrates how Hitler's aggressive actions and the policy of appeasement set the stage for further conflicts and ultimately led to World War II.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
