Foreign policy aims

Hitler had three main aims in his foreign policy:

revise the Treaty of Versailles

unite all German-speaking people into one Reich

expand eastwards to achieve Lebensraum

Historians have disagreed about Hitler’s aims. A J P Taylor argued that Hitler did not deliberately set out for a destructive war. Instead, Hitler was an opportunist and made gains in his foreign policy by direct action and audacity.

Hugh Trevor-Roper has argued that Hitler had a long term plan - a programme of colonisation of Eastern Europe and a war of conquest in the West. This Stufenplan, step-by-step policy, led to war.

Probably the most convincing argument is that Hitler had consistency of aims, but was also an opportunist that was flexible in his strategy.

There were three stages to his foreign policy.

A moderate policy up to 1935.

Increased activity between 1935 and 1937.

A more confident foreign policy after 1937, certain that there would be little opposition to his plans.
