Hitler's ideology of Lebensraum led to the occupation of Austria and invasion of Poland starting WWII. In 1939, the Hitler-Stalin pact agreed for Germany and the Soviet Union to not attack each other, though Hitler did not honor this. Britain and France appeased Hitler by allowing Germany to take the Sudetenland, but this failed to achieve peace. The major powers of WWII were Germany, Italy, and Japan as the Axis powers and the US, France, Britain, and Soviet Union as the Allied powers. Blitzkrieg referred to Germany's fast and mobile air and land attacks.
