Hitler's Foreign Policy - Pre Rhineland
Created by anna jordan on September 10, 2009, 12:32 pm. Report this group | FAQ
Categorized under: World War II
Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and immediately began rearmament. This was partly an attempt to revive the economy, in tatters after the Wall Street Crash and the consequent US recall of loans. It was also an attempt to revive German national pride, which had been destroyed by the Treaty of Versailles. Intentionalist historians would also argue that re-armament was the essential first step in an aggressive foreign policy that ultimately precipitated the start of World War II.
Rearmament was rapidly followed by a propaganda victory when the Saarland voted to return to Germany, after 15 years under the control of League of Nations (as per the Treaty of Versailles).
