Question

Explain 3 features of hitler's foreign policy

Answer 1

Hitler’s foreign policy was pegged onthe Nazi Partypolicies which sought to bring to an end Germany’s restrictions under the Versailles treaty, promote Germany’s re-armament, expand Germany’s living space, unite all peoplewho spoke German and spread the Nazi ideology across the world. Hitler knew that to achieve all the above, war wasinevitable. Thefirst thing he did was to pull Germany out of the League of Nations in 1933. After this, he strategically entered into pacts with several nationsto the benefit of Germany by actualizing its expansionist and rearmament agendas. In addition to that, Germanyintentionally flouted everything that had been stipulated by the treaty of Versailles. For instance, Germany contravened its non-aggression treaty with Poland and invaded it in 1934. In 1935, Hitler publicly announced Germany’s military position including its status on arms, war planes and robust size of the army.
