Conflict and Compromise: The Appeasement of Hitler
From 1935 to 1938, European countries made numerous compromises with their neighbor, Germany.

This time period of compromise and conflict is modernly known as the appeasement of Hitler
Much of the world blamed Germany for the destruction and loss caused in World War One. As a result, the treaty of Versailles was formed, containing 440 articles, together, which reassigned boundaries of Germany and claimed them liable for atonement of World War One.

For example, the United States of America was currently experiencing the Great Depression. This is one of the main reasons the United States did not get involved with European conflicts until 1941. Great Britain was also facing many of the same problems currently plaguing the United States. There was mass unemployment and economic depression all over the country. These circumstances lowered the people’s moral and weakened the country. Between 1933 and 1935, Hitler started his efforts to increase Germany’s power. On march 16, 1935, Hitler publicly announced his intentions of the rearmament of Germany. He assured the other world leaders that his actions were not in conflict with the treaty of Versailles and that Germany was simply trying to protect itself.

“Germany wants peace because of its fundamental convictions.... The principal effect of every war is to destroy the flower of the nation... Germany needs peace and desires …show more content…

As a result of the requirements established in the Treaty of Versailles, these circumstances were especially poor in Germany. This led Adolf Hitler to rise in power and endeavor to “restore the nation’s moral and material health”. To this end, Germany repeatedly broke the agreements made in the treaty of Versailles by rearming the German army, remilitarizing the Rhineland, and the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland. Because of the depression and low moral of their countries, Great Britain and other European nations tried to appease Hitler rather than responding with hostility.

Max Goodman Dr. Hagler B Block 1/26/2023 The Treaty of Versailles was signed between the Allied powers of England, France, and the U.S. and the leading Central power, Germany, in 1919, officially ending World War 1.

After World War I ended, the Allies placed the whole blame of the war on Germany due to its extreme aggression. In fear that Germany would rise to power again and become a future threat, the Allies levied harsh conditions on Germany with the Treaty of Versailles. Article 232 from the treaty requires that Germany pay compensation to the Allied countries for the damages of war (“The Versailles Treaty”).
