Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

(I) is the reason for (II). Explanation: Hitler’s desire to restore Germany’s prestige (I) served as the fundamental motive for his specific rearmament actions. By breaching the Treaty of Versailles’ military constraints, Hitler hoped to return Germany from a defeated, constrained nation to a dominant European force. Thus, the desire to reclaim national honour directly provoked and justified his defiance of the international treaty.
