He assumed Great Britain and France would choose not to respond to his actions.

Explanation: British and French appeasement (and their failure to act when Germany remilitarized the Rhineland and carried out the Anschluss in 1936–38) convinced Hitler that they would avoid confrontation, so he felt free to annex Austria and then press into Czechoslovakia (culminating in the Munich Agreement).
