Czechoslovakia and Austria
Austria & Czechoslovakia.
Between 1935 and 1939, six main steps led to the outbreak of war: Remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936) - Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles, re-establishing military presence in the demilitarized zone. Annexation of Austria (Anschluss, 1938) - Germany unified with Austria, further expanding its territory without facing serious opposition. Munich Agreement (1938) - Britain and France allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, a policy of appeasement that emboldened Hitler. Occupation of Czechoslovakia (1939) - Germany fully occupied Czechoslovakia, disregarding previous agreements and demonstrating aggressive expansionism. Nazi-Soviet Pact (August 1939) - This non-aggression treaty between Germany and the Soviet Union allowed Hitler to invade Poland without fearing a two-front war. Invasion of Poland (September 1, 1939) - Germany's invasion triggered Britain and France to declare war, marking the official start of World War II.
Hitler wanted to acquire living space for his so-called Aryan race. Despite popular belief, he did not want to conquer the world or Europe for that matter. He wanted to conquer Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia. He successfully annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia without war. He knew that the wouldn't just give him Poland so he decided to invade it in 1939 cause Britain and France to declare war on Germany. That's how World War 2 started.

The western countries that were France, Italy- Benito Mussolini and Britain- Neville Chamberlain were appeasing to Hitler because he wanted Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia because it was occupied by a majority of a population of Germans... also Britain, Italy and France thought that if they agree to his demands in return of a favor of not invading any other territory. They signed this appeasement without the knowledge of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was shocked but could not do anything as it was not that powerful to defeat France, Italy, Germany, Britain or any of them.
Germany acquired Austria through the Anschluss in March 1938, which was the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany. This was largely facilitated by political pressure and the support of Austrian Nazis, leading to a largely unopposed takeover. The Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a significant ethnic German population, was acquired later that year following the Munich Agreement in September 1938. This agreement, which involved Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, allowed Hitler to annex the Sudetenland without military intervention, under the pretext of self-determination for ethnic Germans.
Poland. After England and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain gave away Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany, (without asking the Czech people), Hitler felt he could take Poland easy.
Czechoslovakia lost land at the Munich Conference in 1938. The agreement, reached among Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a significant ethnic German population. This decision was made without Czechoslovakian participation and aimed to appease Hitler to avoid further conflict in Europe. Ultimately, it weakened Czechoslovakia and contributed to the onset of World War II.
