"Diplomatic Revolution"

            Before World War II started, Hitler and Nazi Germany achieved diplomatic revolution. Due to the fact that Germany was demilitarized since World War I since they were “the cause of the war”, Hitler viewed Germany as a weak country. Since Hitler knew very well or was well aware of Great Britain and France of their losses and the costs of World War I. Because of these things, Hitler knew that Great Britain and France were trying to avoid another war. Hitler also knew that if he could act upon France he could do anything like removing the restrictions on Germany of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler’s intentions were only to revise the unfair provisions of Versailles by peaceful means and achieve Germany’s rightful place among the European states.  He believed that he could break some of the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles without serious oppositions from Great Britain and France. Hitler announced the creation of a new air force and introduced a military draft that would expand Germany’s army. On the other hand, Britain started a policy of appeasement. Also, on the Treaty of Versailles, it clearly states that Germany was not allowed into Rhineland. Yet, knowing that Great Britain and France will not do anything, he decides to take his troops and demilitarize Rhineland. Doing these things gave him an opportunity to create alliances with other countries like Italy. Hitler achieved diplomatic revolution for Germany.
