rearmament

America tacitly approved Germany's rearmament in 1935.It carried out the policy because of its resentment against Versailles Treaty and the development of European disarmament after the Great War.

And we have discussed ways of how to work together to prevent Hamas rearmament.

Slowly, Congress came around to Roosevelt's views and voted for a peace-time draft and massive rearmament programs.

Under his leadership, the Nazi regime rebuilt the  economy and began a massive rearmament program.

With it now seemingly inevitable that war was to follow before long, Britain and France belatedly accelerated their rearmament programmes.

Chamberlain continued a policy of slow rearmament, while also allowing Germany to re-emerge as the major power in Central Europe.

The most prominent champion of rearmament was Winston Churchill, who had been absent from the Conservative frontbench since 1931 after falling out with Baldwin over India policy.

At the same time, he authorised the rearmament programme which built the aircraft that would win the Battle of Britain during the final months of his life.

Although Britain was rearming rapidly, the rearmament programme would not be complete until 1941, and in the meantime, Chamberlain continued in his efforts to preserve peace through diplomacy.

By now Britain and France had begun to accelerate the speed of their rearmament in preparation for the inevitable conflict, but they were far behind where they needed to be.

The French were not prepared to fight an offensive war, bombing Germany would merely invite retaliatory attacks which would undermine British rearmament, and intervention of any sort would antagonise the Soviet Union.
