On 14 October 1933, Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler's leadership, announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations, marking a significant step towards its growing isolation and defiance of the international order established after World War I.
The move was framed as a rejection of what Germany perceived as unfair treatment, particularly the military restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, which Hitler had long denounced.
This decision was a pivotal moment in Hitler’s foreign policy, signalling his regime's intent to pursue rearmament and expansionist ambitions without the constraints of international diplomacy, setting the stage for the aggressive actions that would eventually plunge Europe into World War II.
