Hitler apart from strengthening the position of Germany through conclusion of pacts with various powers also took up the work of re-arming Germany.
He not only withdrew from the league of Nations but also from the Disarmament Conference being held at Geneva. In March 1935 Germany announced that a German Air Force was in existence. On 16 March 1935 she announced the Law for the Reconstruction of National Defence Forces, in complete violation of the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1936 Nazi Germany proceeded with the remilitarization of Rhinland in violation of the Treaty of Locarno. Thus Germany remilitarized herself in complete violation of the various limitations imposed on her in this regard under the various states.
