In March 1936, Adolf Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland. Hitler's decision to remilitarize the Rhineland was brilliant for four reasons. First, Hitler was able to predict that no nation would try to stop him from remilitarizing the Rhineland. Second, by remilitarizing the Rhineland, Hitler gained a better military position both offensively and defensively against France. Third, Hitler also increased the support of the German people for the government and for himself. Finally, Hitler was able to safeguard his control over the natural resources in the Rhineland, where a large majority of Germany's coal supply was located. Without that supply, Germany would likely have fallen right back into the Depression, taking away its main advantage over all other major powers.

Perhaps the most critical reason that Hitler's decision to remilitarize the Rhineland was brilliant was that Hitler was able to predict that no nation would act against him. The only powerful nations that would have cared about the remilitarization of the Rhineland were the United States, Great Britain, and France. The United States simply did not care enough to act. It would have taken too long and would have be

In conclusion, Hitler's remilitarization of the Rhineland was a brilliant strategic move in four ways. First, it consolidated Germany's economic power, the foundation of his military power at a time when no other major power was in a position to respond. Second, it enabled him to consolidate his domestic power and was a first step to a new world order with Germany at the center: the Third Reich. Third, it set up a better position militarily against France. Most importantly, Hitler was able to predict the reactions of all other nations based on each country's economic conditions and social views at the time.
