Anschluss (union) with Austria- Hitler annexed Austria. For the most part the austrians were indifferent. Legue of Nations didn't do anything.
Sudetenland/Munich Conference- Four people attended this conference where Hitler wanted to get the Sudentent land of Czechoslovakia for its German speaking people. He called theese people the Sudetent Germans. Benito Mussolini- Italy, Neville Chamberlain- Great Britian, Adolf Hitler- Germany, and Eduard Daladier- France were all atendees to the conference in Munich, Germany. It decided that Germany would be allowed to take the Sudentent land, as long as that was all that he would take, and Hitler promised to it. This was called an appeasment policy between France and Germany.
Nevel Chamberlain goes back to Great Britian as a hero for apparently preventing another war. Winston Churchill was the one guy that criticized the policy of appesment, that they should have denied Hitler. A year or so later, when Hitler keeps going, war starts and people believe they should have listened, helps him get elected Prime Minister.
Soviet-German Non-aggression Pact- It was a pact between Stallin and Hitler signed one week before the invasion of Poland. It didn't make the two countries allies, but they agreed not to fight one another. They also agreed to trade unlimited with eachother. Trading was a huge part of the agreement, but when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, they lost all the supplies from the Soviet which brought him down.
They also agreed that they would secretly invade Poland from both sides and split up the land.
German Invasion of Poland- September 1st 1939. Germany and the Soviet Union came in on multiple sides of Poland and used the Blitzkrieg strategy.
Blitzkrieg- coming in with planes, taking out telephone systems, transportation systems, taking down troops. It's a very quick strike. After planes come the tanks and the troops. Then troops in trucks go as far as they can into Poland on trucks. They get dropped off and work their way bac k to the tanks and trap a lot of the other soldiers. Attempting to overwhelm the enemy and winning as quickly as possible.

German Invasion of France- Within a month France surrenders. Troops went around the Maginot line.
Added to Hitler's belief that their troops were undefeatable. France focused on too many defensive strategies.
Hitler forces all the British and French troops to Dunkirk. He then kept delaying the attack on all theese soldiers. Eventually they all got rescued and sent back, causing a great relief for their countries because those hundreds of thousands of troops that got rescued wouldn't have helped to fight later.
Vichy Government- The government Hitler alloud France to have, that cooperated with the Nazi's, helped round up french jews.
