They give the following examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Germany signed a naval agreement with Britain in 1935, this showed that the Stresa Front was no as united as it seemed against Hitler. Importantly, although the idea was largely Hitler&#8217;s, the signing of this was not part of a grand strategic plan. After Britain signed it, Hitler realised that now was the time to remilitarise the Rhineland. Britain was clearly not interested in mainland Europe and, although high-risk (even some of Hitler&#8217;s military commanders were unsure of the move) German forces moved in to the Rhineland on March 7 1936. The move was condemned by both France and Britain but no military action was forthcoming. Hitler had won! He was now incredibly popular in Germany, further maintaining his position as Fuhrer, and a future European war was more likely. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Was Hitler a weak or strong dictator?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the following to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"ep-gutenberg-content-b4dead033d70246ac603402b2304f849\" class=\"ep-gutenberg-content aligncenter ep-percentage-width   ep-content-protection-disabled\">\n            <div class=\"embedpress-inner-iframe emebedpress-unit-percent ep-doc-b4dead033d70246ac603402b2304f849\" style=\"max-width:600%\" id=\"embedpress-pdf-1677036711297\">\n                <div >\n                    <div class=\"ep-embed-content-wraper\"><div class=\"position-right-wraper gutenberg-pdf-wraper\"><iframe title=\"Hitler weak or strong\" class=\"embedpress-embed-document-pdf embedpress-pdf-1677036711297\" style=\"width:600%;height:600px; max-width:100%; display: inline-block\" src=\"https:\/\/stg.igbis.edu.my\/the-past-changes-a-little-every-time-we-retell-it\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=get_viewer&#038;file=https%3A%2F%2Fstg.igbis.edu.my%2Fthe-past-changes-a-little-every-time-we-retell-it%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F8%2F2023%2F02%2FHitler-weak-or-strong.pdf#key=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\" frameborder=\"0\" oncontextmenu=\"return false;\"><\/iframe> <p class=\"embedpress-el-powered\">Powered By EmbedPress<\/p><\/div><\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timeline 1935 The Nuremberg Laws are passed, alienating the Jews from German society. 1936 September, Goering begins the Four-Year Plans.
