Saar Plebiscite
The Saar Plebiscite was a vote in which the Saar was returned to Germany from France. It took place in the Saar. This vote was on the 13th of January 1935, and included two judges from Italy and Holland, a professor from the US, and citizens of the Saar. It was held because while many people supported the action, others still wanted to be part of Nazi Germany. Citizens voted the way we would do today.

The Introduction of Conscription
Conscription is a system in which every man had to serve in the army, navy, or air force. It was introduced to Nazi Germany in 1936. It included all men of age to serve. This happened party because Hitler wanted to reoccupy the Rhineland, and partly because Hitler wanted his citizens to be prepared for war. Hitler announced this, and his people followed.

The Munich Agreement
This was an agreement signed on September 1938 that allowed Hitler to take the Sudetenland, as long as he didn't invade Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain and Hitler were both present at the signing, which was located at Munich. It "had" to be signed as Great Britain was not yet prepared for war with Germany, and because the Treaty was quite harsh on Germany. Chamberlain and leaders of other countries, including Hitler, discussed this together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKA-lhWFbsE -
The Invasion of Czechoslovakia
On March 1939, Hitler's armies invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia, breaking the Munich Agreement. They did this because Hitler believed that these countries are all part of "Greater Germany".

The Nazi-Soviet Pact
This is an agreement the Nazis and the Soviets signed, on August 1939, to keep peace between the two countries. Ribbentrop and Molotov were also present at the signing, although Hitler himself wasn't. Hitler wanted to sign this because he thought that he could finish the Soviet Union after France and Britain. Stalin wanted to because he wanted to prove that Soviet Russia is more useful as allies than enemies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cYN2QsEzv8 -
Invasion of Poland
On September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland with his armies. Hitler justifies his actions by saying that there are German speakers in Poland, and Poland should be part of Greater Germany. The Germans stormed right across the Polish border, with their new ally, Soviet Russia, assisting them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNOqSSP1o94 -
