@PurpleThistle7 "There wasn’t even an invasion in ww2 and the British army still bombed German towns and cities over and over again. Just googled and they think it was 300,000-600,000 German civilians killed. They have no idea exactly as the cities were totally destroyed. Because destroying the Nazi threat was the priority."
No invasion?
Please read on...
In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Over the next year and a half, he would consolidate power and transform Germany into a totalitarian dictatorship under Nazi rule.
This set the stage for his aggressive foreign policy to come.
One of Hitler‘s first major foreign policy moves was to withdraw Germany from the League of Nations and the Geneva Disarmament Conference in October 1933. This was a clear rejection of the international system established after World War I.
Nazi Germany signed a 10-year non-aggression pact with Poland in January 1934. This was an attempt to secure Germany‘s eastern border and prevent a two-front war. But Hitler would violate this pact 5 years later.
Emboldened by the lack of response to his rearmament, Hitler ordered German troops to reoccupy the demilitarized Rhineland along the French border in March 1936. This was another violation of Versailles, but again, the western powers did not intervene.
In March 1938, Germany annexed Austria.
At the Munich Conference in September 1938, the leaders of Britain, France and Italy agreed to let Germany annex the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia) in exchange for a promise of no further territorial demands. But it was a false hope.
In March 1939, Hitler violated the Munich Agreement and ordered the German military to occupy the rest of Czechoslovakia.
The final step on the road to war came on September 1, 1939, when Germany launched a massive invasion of Poland. Britain and France, now finally recognizing the threat posed by Hitler, declared war on Germany two days later. World War II had begun.
