TMOGV, Chapter 14-16: Hitler Begins Reclamation of German Territory, 1936 Olympics, Anschluss

14 - Hitler Begins Reclamation of German Territory: One of Hitler’s goals as Chancellor of Germany was to make Germany whole again. He was determined to regain control of lands taken from Germany by the Versailles Treaty but also to bring ethnic Germans living outside the Reich back into Germany. 15 - The 1936 Olympics: Berlin won the bid in April 1931 to host the 1936 Olympic Games over Barcelona, its number one contender. The bid for the games had been won two years before the Nazis were elected into office in Germany. When the Nazis came to power, American Jewish organizations immediately demanded that some other venue be chosen for the games other than Berlin. 16 - Anschluss. The unification of Austria and Germany: Beginning with his 25 Points speech of 1919, one of Hitler’s overriding goals was the unification of all German people into a single nation-state.
