Part 3 - Cold War Crises (The Cold War)

📓 Topic Overview: Germany, fresh off their win in the Saar plebiscite in 1935, kicks the disarmament rules from 1919 to the curb. They start beefing up their military, even creating a shiny new aerial force. Europe&#39;s top nations are, understandably, getting super nervous.

Remember when your parents got alarmed seeing your unexpectedly high phone bills because of those endless video calls? This is kind of like that, but with weapons and politics.

<ul>
	<li>Saar Plebiscite Victory: This was like a confidence booster shot for Germany.</li>
	<li>Disregarding 1919 rules: Hitler decides to throw the Treaty of Versailles&#39; rulebook out the window.</li>
	<li>Mega Moves:
	<ul>
		<li>Conscription: Young German men now had to join the army.</li>
		<li>Budget Boost: Military got a bigger allowance!</li>
		<li>Luftwaffe Creation: Germany&rsquo;s new aerial squad. Think of it as Europe&#39;s most advanced fighter jet club.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🚀 Real-World Analogy: It&#39;s like after winning a mini-game in a videogame, you level up your character, get new gear, and prepare for bigger challenges. That&#39;s Germany after the Saar win.

<ul>
	<li>The Stresa Front Formation:
	<ul>
		<li>Members: Britain, France, and Italy. The trio trying to keep Germany in check.</li>
		<li>Purpose: To block any German moves that could change European borders.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

💡 However, this alliance was as sturdy as a house of cards. Why? Because Britain made its own side-deal with Germany and others felt betrayed.

&nbsp;

🍔 Food for Thought: Imagine you and your buddies decide to go on a diet together, but then you catch one sneaking off to a burger joint without telling the rest. That&#39;s Britain, munching away on a naval treaty with Germany.

<ul>
	<li>Date: June 1935</li>
	<li>Main Terms
	<ul>
		<li>Germany gets a green light to grow its navy, but only up to 35% the size of Britain&#39;s.</li>
		<li>It&#39;s like letting your younger sibling grow, but making sure you always have the bigger piece of pie.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Britain&rsquo;s Thoughts
	<ul>
		<li>Revise Treaty of Versailles: Let Germany have a bit more military freedom.</li>
		<li>Budgeting: Want safety but don&rsquo;t want to splash too much cash on weapons.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

📺 TV Show Analogy: Imagine a reality show where one contestant (Britain) gives another (Germany) permission to get a little stronger, while ensuring they (Britain) remain the show&#39;s main character.

<ul>
	<li>Germany&rsquo;s military growth spurt had major political ripples.</li>
	<li>Europe&#39;s big nations, while concerned, didn&#39;t always present a united front.</li>
	<li>Agreements can sometimes signal a nation&#39;s priorities, as well as its insecurities.</li>
</ul>
