Advanced American History
Our study of WWII continues today with an analysis of how Hitler was able to mobilize the German population to embrace his vision and the steps he took to spread that vision beyond the borders of Germany. The failure of the Weimar Republic led to the demise of freedom of speech, press, assembly and the denial of due process of law. This, combined with Hitler's economic successes, led to popularity of the Nazi party within Germany and all those opposed were silenced.
After making this vision a reality, Hitler sought to expand this vision beyond Germany's borders. You should know the following steps to war in Europe:
1. 1936 -- Hitler Rearms the Rhineland
2. 1938 -- Annexation of Austria
3. 1938 -- Sudetenland, Appeasement and the Munich Pact
4. 1938 -- Czechoslovakia
5. 1939 -- Invasion of Poland
