Germany: moves troops into Poland
Europe: please don’t invade Poland
Germany: ok np. *invades Poland anyway*
Europe: well that wasn’t very nice
Germany: moves troops into France
Europe: please don’t invade France
Germany: ok np. *invades France anyway*
Europe: we should probably do something about this
Ww2 starts.
Germany suffers after wall street crash as their prosperity was reliant on american loans, which the USA wanted back
extremists like Nazis and Communists gain popularity
Hitler wins election in 1932 but Hindenurg refuses him the chancellorship
Hitler does worse in next election in 1932 but still wins
in early 1933, Hindenburg offers Hitler the chancellorship in coalition and with few cabinet ministers in the hope that he will gain popularity and prevent Hitler doing bad stuff
Hitler passes bills through Weimar that essentially give him dictatorial powers
Hitler threatens to rearm unless others disarm
Hitler rearms
Hitler tries to do anschluss but is blocked by Mussolini
Hitler moves troops onto Rhineland (with orders to retreat if resistance occurs)
agreement between Britain and Germany that allows Germany's navy to reach 35% of British
German military spending increases alot
Germany and Italy sign anti-communist pact, Japan later joins.
Hitler does Anschluss successfully (99.75% of Austrians support it when forced)
Hitler invades Sudetenland
Hitler invades the rest of czechoslovakia
Hitler signs pact with Soviet Union so that they would divide poland up betwee them.

"It will be asked how it was possible that the Soviet government signed a non-aggression pact with so deceitful a nation, with such criminals as Hitler and Ribbentrop... We secured peace for our country for eighteen months, which enabled us to make military preparations" Josef Stalin, 1941

That's a pretty good summary. You did leave out a few choruses of "OH!!! be careful, we DON'T want to make Hitler mad"!!!! and "He's really a reasonable fellow...". Otherwise, much like today. Cheers & best of luck to all of us - we're probably going to need it!!
