In Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf, it is clear that he would take his anti-Semitic beliefs to whatever extent necessary to achieve the domination of his Aryan race. Hitler believed that Germans were the master race, destined to dominate all other races, and that the Jews had caused all of Germany's problems. Hitler's views on the racial superiority of the Germans influenced German foreign policy before and during World War II, and this is evident when Hitler drops from the League of Nations, breaks his alliance with Soviet Union, and exploits the inferior workers of other nations for resources and labor. .
After World War I, the League of Nations, an agreement to keep peace in Europe, was formed by the Allied powers but all European nations were convinced to join. When Hitler diplomatically took power of Germany by first becoming prime minister of the Weimar Republic, one of his first moves was to take Germany out of the League of Nations. Hitler believed that the Germans were a superior race to all other people and that they did not need to be bound to any other country by this agreement. The rearmament of Germany and the invasion of the Rhineland in 1936 are also examples of Hitler's sense of entitlement for the Germans, since the Treaty of Versailles and the War Guilt Clause stated that Germany could have only a very small military and not have possession of the Rhineland if they failed to pay reparations. A belief that the Aryan race would rule the whole planet gave Hitler the confidence to turn German foreign policy down a self-serving route and go against the rules made by the winners of WWI. .
Before World War II began, Hitler made an agreement with Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, that they would be allies for the common interest of gaining territory in Poland. At first this Ten-Year Peace Agreement is surprising because Hitler denounced communism as a malice created by the Jews to destroy Europe; however, in the course of World War II it becomes clear that Hitler deceived Stalin and that he made this agreement with only his country in mind.
