Aggression Goes Unchecked
When the aggressive actions of dictators in Japan, Germany, and Italy went virtually
unchallenged, these regimes grew bolder. The Western policy of appeasement and widespread
pacifism fed the ambitions of the three countries, which formed a pact not to interfere in each
other’s expansion.
Spain Collapses into Civil War
When conservatives led by Francisco Franco revolted against the new reformist government in
Spain, a civil war broke out that drew help from Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union. Franco’s
rebels won, and he set up a fascist dictatorship.

German Aggression Continues
Hitler annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland in his quest to bring all Germanspeaking people in to the Third Reich. Britain and France were not willing to go to war over
either move.
Europe Plunges Toward War
When Germany seized the rest of Czechoslovakia, Britain and France decided they would move
to stop Hitler if he attacked Poland. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin made a pact with Hitler that they
would not interfere with each other in annexing parts of Eastern Europe. Two days after German
forces invaded Poland, on September 3, 1939, World War II began.
