The Germans were not permitted to have weapons in the Rhineland because this area of Germany bordered on France. The French were afraid that the Germans might invade France again. World War I was fought mostly in France and Belgium and Germany was never invaded.
In 1870, France started a war with Prussia, a German state, and the Prussians invaded France. The French never go over this. The French considered themselves to be the dominant country on the European continent and they thought of the Prussians as upstarts. The French started a war to prevent the Prussians from becoming powerful in Europe, and they were humiliated when the Prussians won.
After their victory over France, the Prussians united all the German states in the the new country of Germany. The king of Prussian had himself crowned the Kaiser of the new country of Germany in the Hall of Mirrors at the French palace of Versailles. This was the ultimate humiliation for the French and they never got over it. That's why they wanted to make sure that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles prevented the Germans from ever becoming powerful again.

∙ 14y agoThe Treaty of Versailles after WWI disallowed it in attempt to keep Germany weak and manageable. France feared a military build-up in the Rhineland was a threat to its existence, especially if Germany ever decided to exact revenge for the Great War.

Where is the Rhineland located in World War 2?
Most of Germany is on the east side of the Rhine River. A small part of Germany is west of the Rhine, and is called the Rhineland. The Rhineland is on the same side of the River as France, which was why the French wanted it "demilitarized" after WWI. If the Germans were forbidden by the Peace Treaty to have military units stationed in the Rhineland, it would be harder for Germany to invade France again.

What is the invasion of Rhineland?
uh bottom answer was really stupid haha anyway it started in march 1936, why? because of the demilitarization of the Rhineland between the borders of Germany and France. The treaty of Versailles ordered it to be demilitarized and therefore angered the Germans, prompting the German army to move in thus the Germans remilitarized the rhineland as a sign of unwillingness to give into the treaty of Versailles. But then 3 years after that the second world war broke out but was still favoured by some as it shows German nationalism. gud enough for ya ;)
When did hitler invade Rhineland?
Germans have occupied the Rhineland for a considerable length of time! I suspect that the question should be "When did Germany remilitarize the Rhineland?", the answer being 1936. The Rhineland had been made into a demilitarised zone after the Great War, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, 1919. Germany had political control of this area, but was not allowed to put any troops into it. In 1936, Hitler ordered troops to re-enter the Rhineland, thus breaking the terms of the treaty.
A border area in which no weapons are permitted?
They call these areas De-Militarized Zones.
