did Hitler follow a successful foreign policy?

When Hitler first came to power he was determined to make Germany a great power again and to dominate Europe. Set out in Mein kampf, Hitlers main aims of foreign policy were, to destroy the Treaty of Versailles imposed on Germany after its defeat in World War One, to unite all german speakers together in one country, and to expand eastwards into the East (Poland, Russia) to gain Lebensraum for Germany. Given Germany’s weaknesses in 1933, Hitler realised that he had to move cautiously. The German army had been limited to 100,000 by the treaty of Versailles, the economy was still in depression, Germany had no allies and was surrounded by hostile alliances constructed by France. Hitler’s short-term objectives were, therefore, to secure alliances, undermine his rivals, achieve more acceptable aims, and above all, give an appearance of moderation. In terms of achieving these aims it would be hard to argue that Hitler didn’t follow a successful foreign policy. Hitler successfully used the threat of violence, and the realization his potential foes, Britain and France, were reluctant to go to war and were prepared to compromise to avoid a repeat of World War One, to get rid of the treaty of Versailles, regain lost land, remilitarize Germany and make him self very popular in Germany. Hitler’s foreign policy allowed Germany to annex its neighbours, become more powerful and it successfully reversed the penalties of war reparations against Germany and its citizens placed upon them by the Treaty of Versailles, so therefore I would argue that Hitler did follow a successful foreign policy.
