Document Summary
Hitler must dismantle to reach goals; directly challenges b&f. In the 1930s appeasement was seen as good. Neville chamberlain pursues policy of appeasement (trying to avoid war) Wwi was so traumatic; politicians see preventing another war as a mis- 1. sion (knew another war would be even worse bc of war technologies) Germans feel treaty is unfair & unjust (groups elsewhere agree: britain"s. John maynard keynes) > maybe it"s not such a bad idea if g seeks to revise it. 1920s su is born, fear of communist revolution (b&f look more. 3. favourably to right-winged leaders like hitler and mussolini, bc they were not. Communists and were anti-communist) > also, if we get rid of hitler a commu- nist might replace him. 1930s: many in awe of hitler (some influential people, i. e. charles lind- 4. berg, joe kennedy) > hitler seen in great light, it praised and (i. e. americans) are taught this.
