Question 6- Discuss Hitler's foreign policy.

Ans- Hitler in the context of his foreign policy in his book 'Mera struggle in his slogan' Treaty of
Warsaw was destroyed, it is clear that Hitler wanted to crush the entire system of the Treaty of
Versailles. He wanted to make Germany a totalitarian nation. He wanted Germany to become a
great power in the world.

Disarmament Conference and Leaving the League of Nations - In 1932, the League of Nations
organized a disarmament conference in Geneva. In this conference, Hitler proposed that he
should be given the same right to armament like other countries or that all nations should follow
disarmament equally as Germany. France opposed this proposal. Therefore, on October 14,
1933, Hitler gave notice of disarmament conference and separation from the League of Nations.
The referendum held in November 1933 also supported Hitler's leaving the League of Nations.

Poland-German Agreement (January 23, 1934 AD) The circumstances of both Poland and
Germany prompted both to agree to the agreement. Poland's position was between Russia and
Germany. If there was a conflict between Russia and Germany, Poland could have been
crushed by being in the middle. Second, Poland's friend France was far away from him. So
Poland was somewhat worried about its safety. Here Germany wanted to show the nations of
Europe that it was a supporter of peace by making a deal with Poland. If there was friendship
with Poland, then he could easily face other enemies. Therefore, on January 23, 1934, Hitler
signed a non-aggression pact with Poland for 10 years. The terms of this agreement were as
follows:

1. Germany gave an assurance that it would not raise demands for changes to the eastern
borders, including the Polish Corridor, for 10 years.
2. 2. Both the countries will not attack each other.
3.Treaty of Four Powers (1933 AD)

4.Acquisition of Saar- The territory of Saar, which was under the protection of the League of
Nations for 15 years according to the Treaty of Versailles, was given to Germany after a
plebiscite.

He launched an attack on the Treaty of Versailles, the first of which was on militarization.

(5) To introduce compulsory military service in Germany

Breaking the provisions of the treaty, Hitler announced compulsory military service in Germany
on March 16, 1935. Germany's peacetime military strength would be 550,000 and compulsory
military service would be introduced in Germany."
(6) England-German Naval Agreement (June, 1935) Hitler With great understanding, made  the
naval agreement with England, June 1935.
according to this,

1. Received right Germany to have 35 percent navy than England.

2. Germany will be able to have an air force at par with its neighbors. Mr. Carr has written about
this agreement.. The agreement seemed so inconsequential that it surprised France, Italy and
the Soviet Union as much as it did not in Germany when England had proposed the Geneva
resolution." Mr. Hardy Considered this as an approval by England to break the Treaty of
Germany. Militarization of the Rhine Region (March 7, 1936) The area of ​the Rhine was
declared demilitarized according to the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler wanted to send troops to the
region.

On March 7, 1936, Hitler sent his forces to the Rhine region and took control of the Rhineland.
In this regard, Marriott has written, - If England and France had opposed this work, Hitler would
have gone back. The agreement was torn with hatred, the sting of the treaty that France had
signed with Soviet Russia (in May 1935) was pulled." Hitler's action had far-reaching
consequences. First, France's weakness was demonstrated. It was done, friends of France left
her.
