In Prelude to WWII: Predicting Hitler’s Foreign Policy, learners step into the role of historical analysts, tracing Adolf Hitler’s calculated rise from political underdog to the architect of world war. Through this critical-thinking challenge, they’ll predict what Hitler will do next at pivotal turning points—and then discover what really happened.
Each scenario reveals how Nazi Germany chipped away at peace treaties, defied global expectations, and manipulated international hesitation to its advantage. Will your learner anticipate how Europe responded—or failed to?
