The Demilitarization of the Rhineland, was a condition in the Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI. It said that Germany military forces could not occupy the area know as the Rhineland, the region of Germany next to France, and a long held dispute of ownership between the two countries. The Germans later re-militarized it in 1936, three years before the start of WWII

Why was Germany's reoccupation of the Rhineland a significant turning point toward war?
Because Britain & France had the wherewithall to do something about it, to deny this move to the Germans, & did nothing. Had Britain & France acted together & with determination then the position would have been unequivocal: A strong united position against German rearmament. Instead Britain & France were less then united & less than determined and Hitler had all the encouragement he needed to dominate Europe with the resultant catastrophe. In hindsight it can be seen that German military power rises at an extremely high rate, but it comes from a very low base, at the time of Hitlers' remilitarisation of the Rhineland Germany was very weak militarily indeed. It might be said, therefore, that they saw the move as insignificant, and of little consequence. And it is easy to say now just how wrong this view was. I am sure, at the time, there were opinions of all shades, but primarily the desire was the avoidance of a repitition of 1914. Ultimately the consequences of this wishful thinking are far, far more serious.

What is the trem mean mean?
There are three that I'm aware of: 1) mean - rude/unpleasant/unkind, saying words or committing actions that will intentionally hurt (physically, mentally, emotionally, or otherwise) the well-being of another, without reason or need. 2) mean - the definition or explanation of a concept (i.e., "what does that mean?"), or the intention ("what do you mean", "what do you mean to say", "did you mean to do that") 3) mean - an average, such as the "arithmetic mean". You add up the collection of numbers you have to get a total, then divide by the amount of individual numbers you had (for instance, if you have 4 numbers - for example 2, 3, 5, and 6, you add those 4 numbers to get 16, then divide the total by 4 since you had 4 numbers; the average, or "mean" is 4). What do you mean what does mean mean? Are you like, teasing us? Are you being mean? There is much to ponder and always when we ask, it's always the same, we ask in all earnestness, what does it mean? Do you know what I mean? I wonder if the average Joe knows what I mean, not that average Joe's don't ponder and ask what does it mean, I'm just saying that if you take all the average Joe's and look at them as a whole, how many of them do you really think will know what I mean? I mean, let's be honest here, I don't even know what I mean, do you know what I mean? What does mean mean? Ha! What does does do? What is what? Is is an is? What does mean mean, indeed!
