Hitler s Foreign Policy remained unadventurous between 1933 36 because Great Britain and France were firmly
Hitler’s foreign policy was adventurous, rather than unadventurous, 1933-36, because Britain and France were not firmly upholding the Treaty of Versailles. Britain and France were not united, in order to prevent Germany’s infringements of the Versailles Settlement and Germany’s constant move towards war, between the years 1933-36. Without any firm upholding of the Treaty of Versailles by Britain and France, Hitler was able to capitalise on their differences and adopt a more adventurous foreign policy, including the destruction of the Treaty of Versailles. Although, there is some evidence to suggest that Hitler’s foreign policy remained unadventurous between 1933-36 because Britain and France firmly upheld the Paris Peace Settlement. This can be seen as both, Britain and France, did make attempts to stop Germany from obliterating the whole Treaty. At Geneva, October 1933, a Disarmament Conference was held and at this France refused to disarm. In response to this Germany demanded to be able to partly rearm, but France would not even discuss this! This resulted in Hitler pulling out of the Conference and out of the League of Nations. Britain wanted to bring them back into the Conference and would give support for German rearmament, provided that it was moderated and everyone agreed upon it. Britain offered to increase the German army by a further 100,00 and, in February 1935, into the Anglo-French air pact, which would mutually set the size of the German air force. ... The increase of the German army would also mean a decrease in the French army, but, in April 1934, any such deal fell through as the French pointed out that Germany’s budget was designed for war. When Hitler announced the reintroduction of conscription, France, Britain and Italy met in Stresa, in April 1935, to discuss the situation, including German rearmament and the Austria problem.
