Document Summary

Small nazi party in austria internally to destablize government. Had them openly declare that they wanted anschluss with germany. Hitler is extremely shrewd, cunning, successful in getting what he wants through consensus/diplomacy. Diplomatic coup - anschluss (austria) without firing a shot. should not have happened according to versailles (but was against self determination of peoples) Included in the third reich of germany. Munich (sudentenland in czechoslovakia) - northwest area = ethnically german minority but was never included in germany. If i could include a group of germans into germany, why not all. French, italians, and british got together to decide on fate of czechs. [this territory would be detached and incorporated into germany. Czech territory annexed by germany erased credibility with britain. Question of when the allies decide when the war is on. Germans seized port memel (lithuania) -- wanted coastline up to soviet union to secure coastline to be free from sanctions/blockade.

b) It was for all the members of the Cabinet relief. Never before had a declaration of war been welcomed with such satisfaction. France having done all that was incumbent upon her to maintain peace and war having nevertheless become inevitable, it was a hundred times better that we should not have been led, even by repeated violation of our frontiers, to declare it ourselves. It was indispensable that Germany, who was entirely responsible for the aggression, should be led into publicly confessing her intentions. If we had had to declare war ourselves, the Russian alliance would have been contested, national unanimity would have been smashed, it would probably have meant Italy would have been forced by the clauses of the Triple Alliance to side against us.
c) "I am not a man who believes that we Germans bled and conquered thirty years ago...in order to be pushed to one side when great international decisions call to be made. If that were to happen, the place of Germany as a world power would be gone for ever, and I am not prepared to let that happen. It is my duty and privilege to employ to this end without hesitation the most appropriate and, if need be, the sharper methods."
