In 1936 Germany took back the Rheinland
In 1938 Germany marched into Austria and forced their people to vote to become a part of Germany, 99% for in a fixed result
Hitler promised this was his last expansion
Hitler later on demanded part of Czechoslovakia be returned to Germany
Neville Chamberlin signed the Munich Agreement that gave Hitler the Sudetenland in exchange for halting his aggression
 
In March 1939 Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia
Britain and France still did nothing but they though that Poland was likely Hitler’s next target
Britain and France promised Poland that if Hitler attacked they would declare war
 
The League of Nations was an international organization formed after WW1 to help prevent future wars
They would impose economic sanctions on aggressive nations then possibly use member nations’ armies
The United States, following its policy of isolationism, did not join
 
 
Not all countries were a part of the League
The League couldn’t make countries do anything
The League had no army of its own
Met only 4 times a year and could not act quickly
