History Project: Hitler Cookie Childrens' Book Due Friday WW II
Pre-"Hitler cookie"
1919 The Treaty of Versailles, signed in July –eight months after the guns fell silent in World War I–called for stiff war reparation payments and other punishing peace terms for defeated Germany
The League of Nations was intended to resolve international disputes peacefully. Yet the League's ineffectiveness soon became apparent. In 1931, when Japan invaded Manchuria, the League condemned the action. However, without either the weight of the US or the power of its own army, it was unable to stop Japan. By 1937, Japan had launched a full-scale invasion of China. In October 1935, the League imposed economic sanctions but little more when Mussolini invaded Abyssinia.
1935, Adolf Hitler announced that he would rearm Germany in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. In secret.

1936 In March 1936, a cautious Hitler remilitarised the Rhineland, forbidden under Versailles. The feared Anglo-French reaction never came. In the League's council, the USSR was the only country to propose sanctions. British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin ruled out the possibility.

Hitler Reoccupies the Rhineland
1937 Stanley Baldwin resigned as Prime Minister and Neville Chamberlain took over. Chamberlain pursued a policy of appeasement and rearmament.
1938 Chamberlain's reputation for appeasement rests in large measure on his negotiations with Hitler over Czechoslovakia in 1938.
Appeasement was not without its critics. Churchill believed in a firm stand against Germany, and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden resigned in February 1938 over Britain's continued acquiescence to fascist demands. The left-wing also attacked Chamberlain's blindness. In March
1939, when Germany seized the remainder of Czechoslovakia, it was clear that appeasement had failed. Chamberlain now promised British support to Poland in the case of German aggression. A misguided belief in 'peace in our time' was replaced by a reluctant acceptance of the inevitability of war.
