Explanation:
Germany, prior to World War Two, attempted to gain land for Germany and reunite ethnic Germans with their country. Such land gains included the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, and the annexation of the city of Memel, among others.

The invasion and conquest of Poland was most likely just for the sake of gaining land, and gaining a border with the USSR (which Germany later invaded).
