520 1 $a"While it is recognised that the foreign policy of Nazi Germany caused the outbreak of the Second World War, it is far harder to determine how this actually came about. Nazi Foreign Policy, 1933-1941 provides an original treatment of this complex question. Focusing on Nazi Germany's relations with a number of regions such as Italy, France and Britain, and the Americas, Christian Leitz explores the diplomatic and political developments that led to the outbreak of war in 1939 and its transformation into a global conflict in 1941.".
520 8 $a"The author considers, for instance, how Hitler's foreign policy ultimately meant the invasion of the Soviet Union was inevitable, and how Germany's relations with China deteriorated in favour of improved relations with Japan. Integrating the recent historical controversy over the nature of Hitler's regime with wider trends in the historiography of German foreign policy, Christian Leitz details the history of Nazi Germany's foreign policy from Hitler's inauguration as Reich Chancellor to the declaration of war by America in 1941."--BOOK JACKET.
