This was due to the Treaty of Versailles from World War 1 were it stated 4 conditions. These conditions were that Germany must have a small army, they must pay $6.6 billion for retribution from World War 1, a lot of their land was taken away and they had to accept the blame for World War 1. This made the people of Germany very angry and they thought that it was too harsh. In January 1933 Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. He swore to rip up the treaty and secretly began to build up Germany’s army.
