Nazi Foreign Policy

Nazi Foreign Policy Goals Restore Germany’s greatness Eliminate or displace ‘weaker’ races End the Treaty of Versailles Lebensraum – ‘living space’

Lebensraum – p. 54 What is the Nazis’ foreign-policy goal, as expressed here? Why does Hitler think the German people deserve Lebensraum? How will Germany acquire Lebensraum?

Four steps to expansion: Rhineland Austria Sudetenland Poland

Rhineland Demilitarized Seized by France after WWI March 1, 1936: German troops enter the Rhineland France offers no resistance

Austria ToV banned reunification Large German population Nazi sabotage March 1938: Anschluss – “union”

Sudetenland Munich Conference – September 1938 Britain, France, Germany, Italy agree to German demands for land Hitler promises not to demand any more territory Annexed October 1

Why would Britain and France give in? Bonus: Why might this be a bad idea?

Appeasement 1937-1939 Britain and France gave into Hitler’s demands Why? Avoided war Gave Britain and France time to rebuild their militaries Wanted Germany as a counterweight to the USSR Assumed that Hitler was rational and would stop when his demands were satisfied

The End of Appeasement March 1939: Germany invades the rest of Czechoslovakia – breaks the Munich Agreement Britain and France realize that Hitler can’t be trusted March 31: Britain agrees to defend Poland if it’s invaded Britain initiates a draft

Poland August 1939: Nazi-Soviet Pact announced September 1, 1939: Hitler invades Poland; USSR invades from the east Britain and France declare war on Germany World War II begins

“General Mud”

Germans were unprepared for winter Hitler believed the war would be over by winter – no winter uniforms were issued Germans were unprepared for winter

The difficulty of supply Roads/infrastructure The difficulty of supply
