Question

"One must be quite clear about the fact that the regaining of the lost regions will not come about through solemn appeals to the dear Lord or through pious hopes in the League of Nations, but only by force of arms.”

1) What document does the quote above refer to?
2) How does the quote foreshadow what will happen in Germany after World War I?

Answer 1

The quote refer in the paragraph is discussed below in complete explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In the first Quote, Hitler is referencing the Treaty of Versailles, the paper made at the end of World War I that stopped to war between Allied and Central powers.

As Germany was in the group of Central Powers and had to accept that they are completely responsible for the start of the war and the destruction, they have been punished by the loss of territory.

2. The second, The loss of the region did not allow to get fit in Germany and it's people. We can observe in Hitler's quote that he felt that Germany experienced injustice and that it deserves to recapture control over its lost regions.

However, in the quote, Hitler clearly states that he prepares to use the power to recapture control over these regions. This foreshadows the armed showdown that is about to become World War II.
