  • Anschluss: The annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in March 1938, uniting German-speaking peoples and expanding German territory without military conflict.

  • Sudetenland: A region of Czechoslovakia with a large population of German speakers, containing vital resources and defensive structures, targeted by Hitler for annexation.
