Hitler believed that there were four main ideas that would create a supreme Germany and for it to be seen as a great nation again. He believed that he needed to expand Germany to grow his following. He wanted complete power to redeem WW1 and get revenge on the people that discriminated against Germany. It did not help that Germany had to abide by the Treaty of Versailles laws. The Treaty laws were mostly aimed at Germany and how they could pay for WW1. Hitler also believed that Jews contaminated the German population and blamed them for the loss of WW1. All these ideas were how Hitler believed would lead to the respect of Germany again.
Hitler wanted power, he wanted to create a superior German population and he wanted to make Germany great again. To carry out these ideas, he needed to expand the German territory. Sudetenland was one of the turning points in Hitler's rise to power. After WW1, Sudetenland became part of Czechoslovakia because of the new nation frontiers that were drawn after WW1 and were due to the Treaty of Versailles terms. Hitler believed that Sudetenland should become part of Germany again. This was a major source of disagreement because of the German majority. Slowly the Sudeten-German Party began to complain that the Czech-dominated government were discriminating against them. The German army invaded Sudetenland on 1st of October in 1938, and the German army was able to reclaim Sudetenland. The invasion of Poland was an event that lead to the initiation of WW2. One of Hitler's major foreign policies, when he rose to power, was to sign a nonaggression pact with Poland in January 1934. He then disobeyed the pact and this showed Europe that he would go to any lengths to get what he wanted and that he believed that Germans were not a minority and were a nation to take seriously. Hitler thought that expansion to Poland would create more living space for the German people. Hitler believed that this act was purely defensive but Britain and France didn't believe this and this then lead to the beginning of WW2. Hitler didn't just rise to power in a fluke of German history. It was a result of the German population resentment due to the blame for WW1 and Nazi propaganda that Hitler enforced and persuaded the German masses to believe that Hitler was their last hope and a good person to follow. Hitler wanted the power to get back what had been taken away after WW1. The Reichstag building was the German parliament building and in 1933, it got burnt down due to arson. Thus, the German Nazi Party portrayed this act in the media as a rebellion against the government and the blame was all turned on towards the Communists. As a result, the Reichstag fire decree was enabled and this permitted the regime to arrest and imprison political opponents without specific charge, dissolve political organisations and suppress publications.
