Re-militarization of the Rhineland 1936.

Causes

Britain and France were more concerned about Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia
The french government was divided and would not act without British support.
Britain felt that Hitler was doing nothing wrong. The treaty of Versailles was unjust, and so Hitler was right to change it.

Effects

Hitler had successfully reversed the treaty of Versailles, which gave Hitler confidence.
Hitlers position in Germany strengthened- He had been right and his army and ministers were wrong. This also increased his confidence.
It lead to the signing of the Rome-Berlin Axis with Mussolini.
Some movement towards rearmament in Britain
Marked the end of the league of nations as a means of keeping peace.

Overall summary

Hitler gained confidence, became more respected/popular in Germany, and there was now the Rome-Berlin Axis with Mussolini.
