The Re-Occupation of Rhineland

This source is suggesting that Hitler was only sending troops to his drop which already belongs to Germ either. He had right to do this as if you have a garden you are allowed to go there. We can agree with this source because the Rhineland was go away of Germany but it had been demilitarised under the Treaty off Versailles. Many people matt-up the Treaty was unfair and harsh on Germany. Hitlers actions were sourceable as he was not invading another country.Some people ideal though it was breaking the Treaty but doesnt mean it is going to fall to war. Some of the British also support and hostile to fascist Hitler because they were to a greater extent concerned most communist Stalins Russia. People also thought to believe that Hitler was a peaceful man who wants peace and not a threat to the Britain. British people also trusted Hitler because they made a naval Agreement with him in 1935. They took far more notice of Hitlers promises.It is tested because the source is from a Bri tish politician so he would know the position of the government and why they have taken no action over the breaking of the Treaty of Versailles. He is trying to rationalise to the public why the government has taken no action against Hitler. He is trying to justify the governments decision to do nothing. nonetheless the source is not valid because there were lots of other reasons why Britain didnt stone against Hitler.Economic trouble during the early 1930s meant Britain had reduced their expense on Arms and their military. Previous to the remilitarisation of the Rhineland, Britain had followed a policy of disarming which left them vulnerable. Britain believed that even combined with France, they did not have enough power to overcome Germany, not only that but also that they had already met to establish the possibility of future remilitarisation but had decided against taking any action should it pass on.Britains first priority was to protect their Empire therefore a War was not in their best interests as it would mean that the dark blue would have to concentrate on other countries instead of the Empire. The policy of calming meant Britain wished to avoid War, and the fear that a possible European War could occur also prevented them from conflict as this would help to form an alliance surrounded by two powerful fascist leaders, Hitler and Mussolini which was a dangerous risk that Britain was not prepared to take.Britain was also concerned about with the actions of Japan and Mussolinis onslaught of Abyssinia. Overall nobody cute another war because people could politic remember the casualties of First World War. ultimately I dont agree with what this source is suggesting was the main reason that British did not oppose Hitlers remilitarisation Rhineland in 1936. As we know this source is reliable because many people in Britain at the time thought Hitler was a man of peace and he is only sending troops to Rhineland which belongs to Germany anyway.Ho wever the reason is not completely valid. So with the benefit of hindsight we also know so many things that many public didnt know at that time. As I mentioned above Britain was behind on rearming. They were more concerned about Mussolinis invasion of Abyssinia. Britain was also going through economic economic crisis as the Americas Wall Street crashed in 1929. Finally there was a little Britain could do to Stop Germany because nobody wanted another war at any cost.
