How did Hitler's foreign policy from 1933 to 1939 lead to war?

Hitlers foreign
policy was pegged on the Nazi Party policies which sought to bring to an end Germanys
restrictions under the Versailles treaty, promote Germanys re-armament, expand Germanys living
space, unite all people who spoke German and spread the Nazi ideology across the world. Hitler
knew that to achieve all the above, war was inevitable. The first thing he did was to pull
Germany out of the League of Nations in 1933. After this, he strategically entered into pacts
with several nations to the benefit of Germany by actualizing its expansionist and rearmament
agendas. In addition to that, Germany intentionally flouted everything that had been stipulated
by the treaty of Versailles. For instance, Germany contravened its non-aggression treaty with
Poland and invaded it in 1934. In 1935, Hitler publicly announced Germanys military position
including its status on arms, war planes and robust size of the army.

In June
1935, the Anglo-German Naval Agreement was signed allowing Germany to expand its number of war
ships and submarines. In 1936, Hitler expanded into Rhineland and remilitarized it. In November
of that same year, Germany fortified both its military and diplomatic positions against Britain,
France and Russia through the Rome-Berlin Axis Agreement and the Anti-Comintern Pact with Japan.
In 1939, Germany went against the Munich Agreement that had prohibited it from occupying
Sudetenland. The final push came in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, forcing Britain and France
to declare war on Germany.

In summary, Hitlers expansionist agenda, which he
attained through contravening the treaty of Versailles and peace measures outlined by the League
of Nations, culminated into the Second World War.
