Great Britain & France did NOT resist Hitler's expansion UNTIL 1939 - they followed a policy of appeasement (to let Hitler have what he wanted, just so there would be no war)

Austria did not resist Hitler's expansion - annexation of Austria, called the Anschluss was supported by Austria. (You can find pictures of Austrians JOYOUSLY welcoming the Germans as they marched into Austria).

  • The entire League of Nations didn't oppose him until he was powerful enough to wage a war against all of them.

    That includes Great Britain, Canada, the USA, France, etc.

    Austria and Czechoslovakia did not resist Hitler, all the others fought to some extent.

    Prior person is right--there were many ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia (mostly the Czech side in Bohemia and Moravia) and in Austria (almost all Germanic), so was not much resistance as Hitler appealed to them.

    Just about every single nation did not resist Hitler. They all waited hoping their wishes for appeasement would be answered until it was too late and Hitler was there in their homeland. SS troops marching down their streets, Jews, Homosexuals and Gypsies being rounded up in their streets.

    The Netherlands and Belgium did nothing to stop the Germans. There was nothing they really could do, militarily.

    Nations that did resist would include Poland and much of Eastern Europe. Something many people do not know is that the Soviets were allied with the Nazis at the start of the war, and Germany and the U.S.S.R. divided Eastern Europe and Poland up evenly.

    The rest of Europe and most of Northern Africa resisted the Axis invasion (Germany, Hungary, and Italy). The African nations involved, France, and the nations surrounding Germany (Denmark, Luxembourg, etc.) quickly fell under Axis control. Nevertheless, they did resist to some extent.
