Was Appeasement a Mistake?
- Everybody's job was to produce. Everybody had to help everybody. If someone was worse than you were, you had to help them.
- These people worked to help building houses, road, etc.
- If someone did not have a job, there would immediately be a job open for them.
- Everybody built all of German all the time. And as time flies, there were more money, and also taxes.
- Step 1 (March 1936) - Germany retook Rhineland.
- Step 2 (March 1938) - Austria annexed.
- Propaganda. The victors write the stories you learn. They are not always true. The truth always land somewhere in the middle. You do not know whether something is true unless you ask the person. That is the difference between truth and hearsay. Hearsay is similar to gossip.
- Step 3 (September 1938) - Sudentenland retaken.
- Step 4a (March 1939) - Hitler took Czechoslovakia. Europe's response was nothing. It was clear Poland would be next. Britain and France promised to help Poland if invaded.
- Step 4b (August 1939) - Hitler allied with Russia.
- Nazi-Soviet Pact: mutual security and agreed to divide Poland.
