Analysis
In 1939, The allied and axis powers representatives made attempts to restrict Hitler from gaining any more territory in effort to maintain peace. Hitler refused to be bound to the Munich agreement and signed a pact with Soviet Russia which gave him even more land. After occupying much of Czechoslovak and much of eastern Europe, Hitler ordered an invasion of Poland that basically ignited the advent for World War 2. Because of Hitler's foreign policies such as remilitarizing, radical government, territorial expansion, and failure to concede with the Munich Agreement, the Allied powers declared war on Nazi Germany.
