Factors that account for germany's early success in the war, before and during world war ii

Alright. So Hitler's Germany was VERY successful in its conquests before and early in  WWll for this one reason: no one stopped him. Hitler was elected the supreme chancellor of Germany because he promised his people to get them out of the depression that was facing Germany since WWl. In the Treaty of Versailles, which was the end of WWl, it stated that Germany had to pay all of the reparations of the war because they "started it". Obviously Germany could not pay for all of this and they went into a deep depression. Hitler comes along promising to make Germany great again and is re-elected. Okay, enough back story. Now that Hitler is elected he believes that he is the leader of  a Third Reich that will last 1,000 years. With this new idea he also believes that Germans need more space to spread out if they are going to the dominating force in Europe. So, Hitler's army starts walking into surrounding countries and saying that they are his now...and no one stops him. Allied countries even appease Hitler by signing the Munich Pact which said he could have the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland if he promised not to invade the rest of Czechoslovakia. He later went back on his promise and captured the rest of Czechoslovakia which enraged France and England, but the last straw before war was declared was when Hitler decided to invade Poland on September 1, 1939.
