🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Remilitarisation of the Rhineland: Germany's violation of the Treaty of Versailles by sending troops into the Rhineland in 1936, strengthening its military position near France and challenging post-WWI peace terms.

  • 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.

  • Appeasement: Policy adopted by Britain and France to avoid war by conceding to some of Hitler’s demands, exemplified by the Munich Agreement.

  • Munich Agreement (1938): A pact between Britain, France, Italy, and Germany allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland, aiming to prevent war but ultimately encouraging further aggression.
