Germany Under Hitler
By the beginning of 1933, the Nazis had become the largest party in the country. Germany's president appointed Hitler to the high position of chancellor.
The Nazis gained legislative power in the German elections of March 1933. They used this power to pass an act that enabled Hitler to make all laws for the next four years, and Hitler became dictator of Germany. He remained so long after the four-year term passed. Germany became a one-party totalitarian state, similar to Italy.
Nazi Germany was an anti-Semitic nation. Hitler blamed Jews for Germany's problems. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 deprived Jews of German citizenship and the rights that citizens enjoyed. That was only the beginning.
Once in power, Hitler began the process of rearmament by rebuilding and resupplying the German military. He withdrew Germany from the League of Nations in October 1933. In 1936, in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, he sent German troops into the Rhineland, a region near Germany's border with France that had been controlled by the French since the end of World War I. In March 1938, Germany invaded and annexed Austria, its German-speaking neighbor to the south. Hitler claimed that he desired only to reunite ethnic Germans within the borders of one country:
Appeasement
After taking over Austria, Hitler shifted his focus to Czechoslovakia. He sought to annex a region of that country called the Sudetenland. Germans formed the majority of the Sudetenland's population, and they increasingly aligned themselves with Hitler and Nazi ideology.
In September 1938, Great Britain's prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, and France's prime minister, Edouard Daladier, met with Hitler and Mussolini in Munich, Germany, to discuss the issue. The conference resulted in the Munich Pact, an agreement allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland in exchange for assurances that Hitler had no plans to move his military any farther outside Germany's borders. The pact represented a policy of appeasement, or compromise against principle, on the part of Great Britain and France. The British hoped Germany's appetite for expansion could be satisfied without war. They also hoped there would be no more expansion after the Sudetenland. But not long after the agreement. Germany invaded and occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia.
In the Soviet Union, Premier Joseph Stalin realized that Poland - situated between Germany and the Soviet Union— was most likely Hitler's next target.
Part of Poland had once belonged to Germany and was home to many people of German ancestry. If Hitler gained control of Poland, Stalin feared the Soviet Union would be his next target. After the British appeasement and the subsequent German invasion of Czechoslovakia, Stalin decided that the best way to protect the Soviet Union was to reach a compromise with the German dictator, In August 1939, Stalin and Hitler signed the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact. It was an agreement to divide Poland between them and not go to war with each other.

During World War II, the Nazis tried to hide the Holocaust from the world by using secretive methods and propaganda. They set up concentration camps far from cities and often told people that they were being sent for “relocation” or “work," which made it seem like they were just moving. The Nazis also spread lies to make it look like everything was normal, claiming that the missing Jews had simply left the country or gone to work. Any reports about the true horrors happening in the camps were often dismissed or ignored, allowing the Nazis to keep their actions hidden for a long time.
