  • 1924 - Hitler made his aims clear in his book Mein Kampf. He aimed to:
    • unite all German-speaking people under his rule
    • gain living space for the German people
    • restore Germany’s power
  • How would Hitler achieve his aims in Mein Kampf
    Hitler would have to oppose the Treaty of Versailles. It took land from Germany and gave it to France, Poland and Czechoslovakia, which meant that millions of Germans were now living in these countries. The Rhineland was demilitarised leaving Germany unable to protect its border with France.
