Outline the manner in which Hitler initiated international conflict in the period 1933-39.
Hitler took multiple actions that initiated international conflicts between 1933 and 1939. He refuted the terms of the ToV after forming government, stopping reparation payments, and rebuilding the armed forces. In addition, the remilitarisation of the Rhineland in 1936 further broke the terms of the Treaty.

The main instance when the policy of appeasement was applied to Italy was during the Abyssinia Crisis, when Italy was allowed to conquer Abyssinia (Ethiopia) without intervention from the League of Nations.
The most significant ways appeasement was applied to Germany was when it infringed on the ToV by rebuilding its armed forces and remilitarise the Rhineland. Appeasement meant that Britain and France essentially said these actions were acceptable because the terms of the ToV were harsh to begin with, and that Germany deserved a bit of leeway with them. The other significant way appeasement was employed concerning Germany was the Munich Agreement that let Germany take over the Sudetenland without consent from
