March 1936: Remilitarisation of the Rhineland
Emotions: the demilitarisation of the Rhineland was a symbol and reminder of German humiliation in the Treaty of Versailles and their defeat in WW1.
Defense: theoretically the demilitirasaion of the Rhineland was a strategic weakness because it enabled western enemies to invade at will - as in the French and Belgian occupation of the Ruhr January 1923.
Why did Hitler want to invade the Rhineland?
Hitler claims that "Germany had no territorial demands to make in Europe..." and suggests a 25 year non-aggression pact with western powers.
The Treaty of Versailles authorised an Allied army of Occupation on the west bank to stay behind for 15 years - but they left after 10.
Two troop divisions marched into the Rhineland against a possible two hundred divisions.
One of Hitler's foreign policy aims was to destroy communism + Russia. They were willing to let the issue slide if Hitler did their dirty work. Anyway if they tried to punish Germany/weaken it in any way it would be vulnerable to a commmunist uprising like the Bolshevik Revolution of 1918.
France was in an economic crisis + had elections in 6 weeks time.
Britain and France were not prepared to risk European on whether German troops could occupy what was practically their own country.
The Rhineland was regarded as Germany's backyard anyway.
How does Hitler get away with this?
