Hitler's GoalsHitler was never secret about his plans for Germany. His goals were explained in detail in his book Mein Kampf, as to what he would do to make Germany a great nation again. His main goals were:Abolish the Treaty of VersaillesLike many Germans, Hitler believed that the Treaty of Versailles was unjust. He hated the Treaty and German politicians were, in his opinion, “November criminals”. The worst aspect of the Treaty was that it reminded the Germans of their defeat in the First World War and the humiliation they had suffered at the hands of the Allies. His promise to the German people was that if he were the leader of Germany he would reverse the situation. When Hitler came to power, some of these terms had already been changed. If this had been the largest, Germany would no longer have to pay reparations. However, most conditions were still present. Expansion of German Territory Another term of the Treaty was that land be taken from Germany. Hitler wanted this territory back. He also wanted an Anschluss with Austria and with all other German minorities in other countries such as Czechoslovakia. In addition to regaining the old lands, he also wanted to create an empire in the east, so that the Germans would have Lebensraum, or living space. Destroy communism. A German empire in the Soviet Union would also have helped Hitler with one of his other goals, namely to defeat communism. Hitler was anti-communist. He also believed that the Bolsheviks had helped Germany lose the world war. This goal was accepted in the West, due to the growing fear of communism. Therefore, people were lenient towards his other goals. Rearmament As soon as Hitler came to power in 1933, one of his first steps was to increase the German armed forces. Resulting in… half of the document… taking control of the border districts of Czechoslovakia.3. Britain and Germany would never have gone to war. On October 1, German troops marched into the Sudetenland without resistance. Although the British people welcomed the Munich Agreement, they did not trust Hitler. In March 1939 they were right. On March 15, with Czechoslovakia in chaos, German troops took the rest of the country. There was no resistance from the Czechs. Neither Britain nor France did anything to resolve the situation. However, it was now clear that Hitler could not be trusted. For Chamberlain this was a step too far. Unlike the Sudeten Germans, the Czechs were not separated from their homeland by the Treaty of Versailles. This was an invasion. Britain and France told Hitler that if he invaded Poland they would declare war on Germany. The policy of appeasement was stopped.
