LaoIn the year prior to the outbreak of World War II, Germany took over Czechoslovakia in 1938-39 as part of its overall expansionist program and securing of dominance in central Europe. Though small, Czechoslovakia was a threat to German might, especially given its military alliance with France and Great Britain: Germany determined to remove that threat for good.
In the period immediately preceding the outbreak of World War II, Germany wanted to annex Czechoslovakia (and other independent nations on its borders) for primarily two connected reasons. First, it sought to increase its own strength by taking over the industrial and military resources of the Czechs. Second, it sought to remove as a threat, especially in the case of a war against any major European nations, any potential enemies on its flanks. Czechoslovakia was one such potential enemy.
Give two reasons why Germany just couldn't take over Czechoslovakia?
1) The other world countries would be all over him. 2) He wanted to humiliate Germany's enemies.
What country did Germany first take over?
I guess you could say that Germany (the home nation for the Nazi Party) was the first country taken over by the Nazis. Next would come Austria in 1936 & Czechoslovakia in 1938 before the war began.

What were the first two countries Germany took over without starting a war?
Austria & Czechoslovakia.

Perhaps the most significant factor was Hitler's influence over diplomats from leading Western nations, as they willingly handed over to Germany the fortified zones of Czechoslovakia in the Fall of 1938. by the munic cobference where England and France gave it to him
