Germany Took Deep Breath; See What Happened!
Post-war Germany, minus terri
tory lost to France, Belgium, Poland,
Danzig, Denmark and Czecho-SIo
vakia, but still a large nation.
Moravia and Bohemia became a
"protectorate” on March 15 this
year; Slovakia was taken the next
day. This ended Ccecho-Slovakia.
Saar basin (see arrow) joined the
Reich in 1935 by plebiscite. On
March 12, 1938, Hitler entered Aus
tria “to restore peace.”
The next month the Memel terri
tory was handed over by Lithuania
after a plebiscite; the territory was
predominantly German.
Six months later Sudctenland, the
rim of Czecho-Slovakia, was added
following the Munich conference
which averted war.
In September of this year, after
the lightning war in Poland, Ger
many took a lion’s share of the
spoils; Russia got the rest.
Germany's population is now more than twice that of France proper; almost three times Italy's,
and considerably more than the British Isles, Canada and Australia combined. Only Russia and the
United States, of western countries, have greater populations, and in Europe only Russia has more
territory.
