** Hitler's Foreign Policies **
 * Adolf Hitler || Leader of the Nazi party, Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933. He is famous for killing 6million Jews in the holocaust, and was part of WWII. ||
 * Treaty of Versailles || A treaty that the allies made to reduce Gerany's power and land. Germany hated this treaty. ||
 * lebensraum || "living space" in German. Hitler wanted living space for the Germans, so he tried to unite all the people that spoke German and the former German land given away to other countries. ||
 * Re-armament || The arming of an unarmed or restricted territory. ||



Hitler's foreign policies were ambitious. Hitler wanted to conquer the whole of Europe. In one conversation with a Nazi, Hitler said, "We need space, to make us independent....In the east, we must have mastery as far as the Caucasus and Iran. In the west, we need the French coast. We need Belgium, and Holland. Above all we need Sweden. We must become a colonial power. We must have a sea power equal to that of Britain." This conversation gives evidence of how ambitious Hitler is. it is not only that, Hitler also wanted to defeat Communism. He wanted the USSR defeated, because he hated the Bolsheviks. Hitler accused the Bolsheviks of being bloody criminals, Hitler also stated that the next aim of the Bolsheviks were to conquer Germany. Apart from conquering, Hitler wanted to unite all the German people and German-speaking people around the world. Doing this would break the Treaty of Versailles, and Hitler thought he was ready to do that. ** Re-armament **



Hitler knew that without a big army none of his goals could be acheived. He knew that he could never have a big enough army without breaking the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles only limited Germany's army to so far. In 1993 Hitler announced to his generals that they were to build an army. The soldiers were to be trained normally, while the aircraft was to be built, and the pilots to be trained secretly in flying civillian clubs. Hitler also withdrew from the League of nations.In 1935, Hitler had armed over 200,000 men and didnt find the need to arm in secret anymore. He announced in public that the army would raise to 550,000 men and there would be a compulsory military service for men. ** Reactions ** Hitler came to power in 1933. Germany was half dead because of the Great depression and its armed forces were severely limted. As you know, Hitler had broke the agreements from the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler could have been stopped by any major power that made Germany sign the treaty of Versailles. However, nobody took action. So Germany re-armed their forces and gained 450,000 men to join the army through compulsory military service. Neither France or Britain took any action on this. The first time Germany tried to take over Austria, they were stopped by Italy, who put units on the Austain-Italy border, in case Hitler attacked Austria. However, the second time Germany attacked Austria, Italy and Germany were allies. This time Britain and France didn't do anything either. This made Hitler very satisfied that his gambling had worked. The next time he gambled,it was a little too risky. Hitler signed a treaty with Russia, and conquered Poland, taking back the polish corridor, which was former German land. This time, Britain declared war on Germany. There is a picture below showing the people that were forced to surrender in Warsaw, while German soldiers entered and captured Poland. ** Video ** media type="youtube" key="hbok5tQICes" width="239" height="293"media type="youtube" key="jyYMbQon1m0" width="226" height="294"media type="youtube" key="O6H8BZLl140" width="225" height="291" The first video is about the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty which Hitler broke in 1933-1935.

** Analysis ** ** What are the main factors that contributed to the revival of Germany in 1933-1935 ** There are 3 main factors that contributed to the revival of Germany in 1933-1935. Hitler used excellent speeches to persuade the citizens to pick him as the Chancellor of Germany. He succedded in 1933 and became Chancellor of Germany. The fact that Hitler came in power, was the revival of Germany. The poeple's morale rose up as Hitler came in with new foreign policies, and plans to break the treaty of Versailles and re-arm Germany so it could become powerful again. This is a main factor in reviving Germany, a promising leader. Hitler had many plans, including conquering Europe and rearming, and those are also factors to reviving Germany.

Hitler's secret was to arm German forces in 1933-1935. He ordered it to be done secretly. He built aircraft in secret and trained pilots in civillian flying clubs. Hitler used the compulsory military service to get men in the army quickly. Due to the Great Depression, unemployment in Germany was high, so this project got many people to join the military, and it was a good way to solve unemployment, this is what Hitler said to anyone who asked, "Why is Germany re-arming?". In 1935, Hitler announced to the world that he was re-arming Germany, although he knew this was breaking the Treaty of Versailles, he took the risk. He even made a deal with Britain to train 35% of Britain's navy!

When Hitler came to power in 1933, he had some foreign policies. Hitler was so ambitious, it seemed dangerous from just what he said. His new foreign policies were to conquer Europe, and defeat communism. He wanted Holand, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark Norway, and many others. Hitler also planned to unite with Austria some people in Czechoslovakia, and take back Sudetenland, and the Polish Corridor. Hitler wanted too much, he also wanted to defeat communism, which was accused of threatening Germany. Hitler said that Germany was the Bolshevik's next target, which was not proven to be right, and in my opinion, Germany wasn't a target to the Bolsheviks. Below is a map to show what Hitler wanted to conquer and his allies at that time.
