    • By 1936, Hitler had defied military restriction from the Treaty of Versailles and built up armed forces
    • He also improved Germanys security by signing a non-agression pact with Poland in 1934
    • In 1936, Hitler ordered German troops to march back into the Rhineland
    • The remilitarisation of the Rhineland would protect the border and Germany from any French attempts to block foreign policy aims
    • This was successful, making Hitler more confident that Britain and France would not prevent him achieving his other foreign policy goals
