The pact required Yugoslavia to allow transit through its territory to German troops headed for Greece. The signing of this agreement by Prince Paul was immediately followed by mass protests in Belgrade, and a military coup d’état overthrowing the regency, placing King Peter II on the throne, and denouncing the previous government’s decision to join the Axis. Although the new Prime Minister, Colonel Dušan Simović, sought within days to retract this statement, Hitler ordered the invasion of Yugoslavia on March 27, 1941. As a result, when German, Italian, Hungarian and Bulgarian forces invaded Yugoslavia on April 6, 1941, the city of Belgrade was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe [German Air Force]. Eleven days later, after the Simović government and King Peter II fled to London, Yugoslavia surrendered to the Axis powers. The Germans established a military occupation administration in Serbia, based in Belgrade. Belgrade became the seat of the regime, headed by General Milan Nedić. By the summer of 1942, virtually no Jews remained alive in Serbia, unless they had joined the Partisans or were in hiding.

In late summer 1938, Hitler threatened war unless the area was ceded to Germany. At the same time, Hungary annexed territory in southern Slovakia and Poland annexed part of Silesia. In an effort to ensure peace, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, French Premier Edouard Daladier, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Pact on September 30, 1938, which gave the Sudetenland to Hitler. In the wake of the Munich Pact, the leaders of the democratic government in Czechoslovakia resigned. The state restructured itself into an authoritarian regime and was renamed Czecho-Slovakia. External demands on its territory continued to plague the state, however. Encouraged by Germany, Hungary annexed territory in southern Slovakia in the autumn of 1938 and Poland annexed the Tešin District of Czech Silesia. Then on March 15, 1939, Germany invaded and occupied the Czech provinces of Bohemia and Moravia. The Germans split what remained of Czechoslovakia into Slovakia (an independent state with a fascist, authoritarian regime that allied with Germany) and the rest was merged into the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in the Greater German Reich.

In his autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf, Hitler claimed that his antisemitic views formed during his time as a struggling artist in Vienna. His frustrated art career became part of the myth making—by Hitler himself and by his followers—that helped drive his fateful rise to power in Germany.

After moving to Germany, he enlisted as a German soldier in the summer of 1914 and was deployed to Belgium in October.
