So, let's have a look to Germany. We are in the year 1936 and Hitler realized that neither 00:00:00
the League of Nations nor the Western democracies didn't do anything in Manchuria and Ethiopia. 00:00:11
It was the moment when Hitler decided to reoccupy again the Rhineland, La Zona de Renania, which 00:00:18
is this area, the Rhineland. It was an industrialized area. So, Hitler in 1936 launched a campaign 00:00:28
to reoccupy the Rhineland, but Hitler gave the order to their soldiers to withdraw if 00:00:37
the UK and France wanted to stop them in Renania, in the Rhineland. But when the Germans occupied, 00:00:48
when they reoccupied the Rhineland without any problem, it was the moment when Hitler 00:01:03
decided to be involved in the Spanish Civil War. When Hitler saw that there wasn't a reaction 00:01:12
from the UK and France when he occupied, reoccupied the Rhineland, it was the moment when he decided 00:01:22
to help General Franco in the Spanish Civil War. We are going to see this in another lesson, 00:01:34
but there was an uprising in 1936 in Spain in July. General Franco needed basically war 00:01:44
planes to cross the Strait of Gibraltar. He didn't have war planes and he asked for 00:01:56
the help from Hitler. So, it was Hitler who gave enough planes to General Franco to cross 00:02:04
with his troops from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula to carry on the military uprising. 00:02:13
Why did Hitler give his help to General Franco? Basically, because he needed raw materials, 00:02:26
like the Japanese. For example, the Germans didn't have enough petrol, oil, steel, coal, 00:02:36
and one important raw material, which was Bollfram. The Bollfram was a really good raw 00:02:46
material because they were building the tanks with these materials and it was harder than 00:02:58
other materials. The German tanks were built with Bollfram and that's why this moment in 00:03:07
1936 the German tanks were better than the rest. But this is only to know more, okay? 00:03:14
Remember that you have to explain only the conceptual map. I'm going to stop in a minute. 00:03:20
You have to explain only the conceptual map, but I would like to explain also the reasons 00:03:26
about why Hitler invaded and also gave help to General Franco in the Spanish Civil War. 00:03:31
I'm going to stop here. Do you have questions? 00:03:38
It's just that Irene said that she can't see or talk or do anything and that it got blocked 00:03:44
and she put it on the chat. 00:03:52
Basically, I'm recording the class so I can send the class after that to Irene, okay? So, 00:03:58
don't worry. And also, what was the reaction from the League of Legends? 00:04:06
Basically, because the UK had a policy of appeasement. They saw that moment that it 00:04:15
was possible to deal with Hitler, to reach a commitment with him, but we all know that it was 00:04:24
impossible. But at that time, they believed in the League of Nations and also in the UK that it was 00:04:32
possible to reach a commitment with Hitler, okay? Can I carry on? Great. 00:04:38
Great. And also, Hitler wanted to be involved in the Spanish Civil War because you know that the 00:04:51
Soviet Union gave his help to the republic and it was a battle not only for preparing the Second 00:05:03
World War, but also it was a battle and ideology. Ideology is the battle because you know that the 00:05:12
Soviet Union were communists. The Hitler ideology was based on extreme nationalism and that's why 00:05:20
both countries fought in the Spanish Civil War. So, as to have some importance in this area, 00:05:31
in the Iberian Peninsula, because the Iberian Peninsula was a strategic country in the south 00:05:41
of Europe and both of them wanted to have some influence in the country. So, as I said before, 00:05:48
what was their reaction in August in 1936 from the League of Nations and from the UK and France? 00:05:55
There wasn't any reaction. Actually, France, this is the president, Leon Blum, gave the idea to 00:06:03
Anthony Eden to maintain peace in Spain and actually they created a committee of non-intervention 00:06:12
so as to not intervene in the Spanish Civil War. So, in reality, it was true that France 00:06:25
and the UK didn't give any help in theory to the republic and to Franco, but in reality, 00:06:35
Mussolini and Hitler gave a lot of help to General Franco and also the Soviet Union to the republic. 00:06:47
So, we could say that the Spanish Civil War was the first step before the Second World War. 00:06:56
So, this moment is really important. We are in 1936, because once Hitler knew that the UK 00:07:04
and France wouldn't move their troops to the Spanish Civil War, to Spain, it was the moment 00:07:18
when Hitler realized that he could conquer more and more territories in the East. For example, 00:07:26
in 1938, he launched another attack over Austria with the pretext of having German population. 00:07:35
Hitler launched a campaign over Austria in 1938 and also Hitler, in the same year, in 1938, 00:07:49
as he didn't see any reaction from the UK and France, he wanted to expand his territories, 00:08:02
the German territories, and he launched another campaign over this territory 00:08:09
in the West of the Czech Republic, which was called at that time the Sudetenland, 00:08:16
Los Sudetes in Spanish, and in English, the Sudetenland. 00:08:24
And both events, the conquest of Austria and also the conquest of the Sudetenland, 00:08:29
happened in 1938. Okay, what happened next? The first reaction from the League of Nations 00:08:37
and also from the UK and France happened in September 1938. It was the moment when the 00:08:48
Western democracies, above all the UK, this is the leader of the UK at that time, Neville Chamberlain, 00:08:57
held a conference in Munich in order to stop Hitler. 00:09:05
As you know, Chamberlain, together with the French Prime Minister, thought that it was 00:09:15
possible to deal with Hitler, to reach a commitment with him, and that's why they held 00:09:21
the Munich conference in 1938. They gave concessions to Hitler in order to avoid the 00:09:27
conflict, and these concessions were the Sudetenland. They allowed Hitler to conquer 00:09:39
the Sudetenland, and all of this happened in September 1938 in the Munich conference. 00:09:47
So the idea of this conference came from Chamberlain. He wanted to avoid war, 00:09:56
and that's why he gave the Sudetenland to Hitler. But once Hitler knew that 00:10:05
it was possible for him to conquer more and more territories, because the UK gave concessions to 00:10:17
him, one year later on he conquered definitely the whole country, Czechoslovakia, in March 1939. 00:10:23
So he conquered first the Sudetenland after the Munich, after the conference in Munich 00:10:33
in October 1938, and definitely he conquered the whole country, Czechoslovakia, in March 1939. 00:10:40
And what was the reaction of the League of Nations and the UK when Hitler conquered 00:10:53
Czechoslovakia in the month of March in 1939? Elisa, your question? 00:10:59
Did he conquer Sudetenland before or after the conference? 00:11:07
After the conference. The conference took place in September. 00:11:13
Lukas, please, you need to behave, okay? The conference took place in September and Hitler 00:11:17
conquered the Sudetenland in October, okay? Okay. 00:11:31
In 1938. And why did Hitler conquer the Sudetenland? This is only to know more, because it was the 00:11:33
industrialized area in the Czech Republic. All the fortresses and the soldiers were in the 00:11:41
Sudetenland, and when the League of Nations and Chamberlain allowed Hitler to conquer the 00:11:51
Sudetenland, they were giving the hand to Hitler to conquer the rest of the country. 00:11:57
And he did it one year later, in March 1939, okay? 00:12:05
So, what happened next? What happened next? We are in the month of March in 1939, 00:12:12
when Hitler conquered Czechoslovakia. It was a moment when Mussolini also gave the green light 00:12:21
to conquer Albania, something that is going to happen in April 1939. Both leaders signed the 00:12:32
agreement between themselves in the Steel Pact in the same month, in April 1939. And now we are 00:12:40
going to see the spark of the Second World War, the catalyst of the war, in the month of August 00:12:48
in 1939. Are you ready to explain the catalyst of the war? And with this, we are going to finish. 00:12:56
Okay? Okay. More questions? Wait, wait one moment. 00:13:04
In April 1939, Mussolini gave the green light to Hitler, so Hitler could conquer Albania or 00:13:16
the other way around. Well, once Mussolini knew that Hitler conquered Czechoslovakia, 00:13:23
Mussolini gave the green light to his troops to conquer also Albania. Because he knew that 00:13:31
he wasn't going to have a reaction from the League of Nations and from the UK and France. Maria? 00:13:40
Elena, sorry. Elena? Diaz? No? Okay. Shall I carry on or do you have a question? Enrique? 00:13:46
No? Elena, Elena Salinas. So, Mussolini allied with Hitler. They all conquered, 00:14:01
they together conquered Czechoslovakia and Albania, right? Yes. Together. Okay, both of 00:14:09
them. Thank you. No, no, no. In this case, Hitler conquered Czechoslovakia and Mussolini Albania. 00:14:14
Okay. Thank you. But after that, they signed the important treaty of the Steel Pact. 00:14:22
Between Mussolini and Hitler? Yes. They were preparing to join the forces 00:14:31
in the Second World War. And now we are going to explain the catalyst of the war and with this, 00:14:36
we are going to finish. Okay? So, the catalyst of the war began with the invasion of Poland. 00:14:41
Yes? Sorry. What? Do you have a question? I do. Why was there no reaction when 00:14:57
Hitler conquered Czechoslovakia? Because they already had signed a treaty saying that he 00:15:11
couldn't. No? Really good question. Thank you so much. Because the UK and France wasn't ready for 00:15:20
a war. Basically, Germany prepared their troops, their rearmament from 1935, but the UK and France 00:15:26
didn't have enough money to spend more money in the army. And they were not ready in 1938. 00:15:40
They began to be ready in the month of August, September in 1939. And that's why when Hitler 00:15:48
invaded Poland, it was the last straw for the UK and France. And that's why both of them 00:15:58
decided to help Poland. And they didn't help Czechoslovakia or Austria because the UK and France 00:16:08
were not ready at this moment for the rearmament policy. Okay, Elisa? Thank you for the question. 00:16:17
Okay. We're going to finish with this. So, we are in the month of August. 00:16:26
So, could you wait because I'm going to finish with Poland and then I will give you the 00:16:31
rest of the class so as to answer your questions. Okay. So, we are in August in 1939 and it was the 00:16:43
spark, the catalyst of the war because it was the moment when Hitler invaded Poland on the 00:16:51
1st of September in 1939. But before that, it's important to point out that in the month of August 00:17:00
on the 23rd of August in 1939, it's incredible but it's shocking. But at that moment, 00:17:12
Germany and the Soviet Union signed an agreement. It was the non-aggression pact 00:17:23
between Germany and the Soviet Union. So, the question is, why was it possible to sign an 00:17:30
agreement between both countries who had a different completely ideology and who fought 00:17:41
in the Spanish Civil War? They signed an agreement. This is the moment when Stalin 00:17:47
signed an agreement together with Von Ribbentrop who was the foreign minister in Germany 00:17:54
on the 23rd of August in 1939. They signed an agreement for 00:18:03
four different reasons. I'm going to explain the four different reasons. Reason one, because both 00:18:10
countries Germany and the Soviet Union were interested in Poland. Both of them wanted to 00:18:16
conquer Poland. Secondly, because the Soviet Union wanted to conquer to take over the Baltic countries 00:18:23
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Third reason, because both of them, Stalin and Hitler, 00:18:36
wanted to avoid a war on the Eastern Front. I will say that Stalin also wasn't ready for a war and 00:18:45
he wanted to buy time. He wanted to buy time and sign an agreement with Hitler. 00:18:55
And I'm going to explain the fourth reason also because Germany, as he avoided a war on 00:19:06
on the Eastern Front, he could move all their troops to the Western Front in order to conquer 00:19:17
the Western countries Poland, Belgium, France, which happened before. Which happened, sorry, 00:19:27
after that. After the signing of an agreement between the Soviet Union and Germany. 00:19:35
Okay. So... Could you go back for a moment? Yes. Thanks. Okay. So, to sum up, they signed 00:19:44
the agreement, both of them, the Soviet Union and Germany, because both countries were interested in 00:19:54
Poland. Both of them wanted to conquer Poland. Also, because the Soviet Union, only the Soviet 00:20:01
Union, wanted to take over the Baltic countries. Both of them wanted to avoid war on the Eastern 00:20:06
Front. And as they avoided war on the Eastern Front, Hitler might launch an attack over the 00:20:13
Western Front. Okay. So, war started on the 1st of September, the Second World War, when Germany 00:20:23
invaded Poland. According to the agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, Germany 00:20:34
launched an attack over half of Poland and the Soviet Union launched another attack over the 00:20:42
other half later on, on the 17th of September. This is the moment when the Germans raised the 00:20:50
barrier and it was the beginning of the Second World War, because this time there was a reaction 00:20:59
from Chamberlain, from the UK, from France, and it began the war when Chamberlain, the leader of the 00:21:08
UK, and Daladier, the leader of France, declared war on Germany on the 3rd of September. 00:21:17
Well, I think that we have enough for today. 00:21:26
Would you repeat this last part, please? Yes. War started when Germany invaded Poland on the 1st of 00:21:31
September. They invaded half of Poland, according to the agreement between the Soviet Union and 00:21:40
Germany, which was signed on the 23rd of August. The Germans raised the barrier of Poland and it 00:21:49
was the beginning of the war, because the UK and France declared war on Germany on the 3rd of 00:21:58
September. 00:22:05
