Study Notes

The text discusses Hitler's early period of dictatorship, focusing on the implementation of his objectives such as expanding German territory, rearmament, and foreign policy.
Hitler's first attempt to expand territory was the Dollfuss Affair in Austria in 1934, where Austrian Nazis funded by the Nazi party attempted a coup to influence Austrian politics but failed.
Germany successfully regained the Saar coalfields through a referendum in January 1935, following the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, demonstrating a significant territorial gain.
Hitler's rearmament policy violated the Treaty of Versailles, as Germany reintroduced military conscription in 1935, leading to condemnation from France, Italy, and Great Britain at the Stresa Conference.
The Anglo-German Naval Agreement in June 1935 allowed Germany to rebuild its navy up to 35% of the strength of the Royal Navy, despite being a clear violation of the Treaty of Versailles.
The agreement was a contradiction in British foreign policy as it aimed to prevent German naval supremacy while maintaining naval superiority for Britain, impacting relations with France and weakening the commitment to peace in Europe.
