Answer:

As Adolf Hitler came to power on the rise of a popular movement that resonated with a lot of patriotic Germans.

Among other things, he was also responsible for the growth of the country's industrial base and high economic growth.

All of this provided him with local support that eventually led him to break many of the key points of the Treaty of Versailles, including:

1. He reintroduced Germany Military Conscription for all branches, something that had been banned for decades. This was an early sign of how he was going to militarize Germany again.

2. He funded a local military industrial complex including helping to establish companies such as Heinkel and Krupp. According to the treaty, Germany was not allowed to allowed to develop heavy military industry.

3. He set up secret schools which began to train fighter pilots. Within a few years, Nazi Germany had the world's most powerful air force.

4. The Treaty of Versailles made sure that Germany would pay for the its costly role in World War I. However, starting mid 1930s, Germany stopped paying reparations

Eventually he lead small skirmishes against small countries that eventually culminated in World War II
