Let's break down the given information and determine the changes that occurred between 1932 and 1939 according to the table:
1. Troops Added:
- In 1932, there were 100,000 soldiers.
- In 1939, there were 950,000 soldiers.
- To find the number of soldiers added by 1939, we simply subtract the initial number of soldiers from the final number of soldiers:
[tex]\[
950,000 - 100,000 = 850,000
\][/tex]
Therefore, Germany had added 850,000 soldiers to its military by 1939.
2. Increase in Aircraft:
- In 1932, there were 36 aircraft.
- In 1939, there were 8,250 aircraft.
- To find the increase in the number of aircraft, we subtract the initial number from the final number:
[tex]\[
8,250 - 36 = 8,214
\][/tex]
So, between 1932 and 1939, the number of aircraft in the German military increased by 8,214.
3. Increase in Military Budget Percentage:
- In 1932, 1% of the budget was devoted to the military.
- In 1939, 23% of the budget was devoted to the military.
- To find the increase in the percentage of the budget towards the military, we subtract the initial percentage from the final percentage:
[tex]\[
23\% - 1\% = 22\%
\][/tex]
Hence, Germany increased the funds devoted to its military by 22% of its budget.
4. Conclusion:
- All of these significant changes in numbers of troops, aircraft, and the military budget clearly demonstrate a move to rearmament and military buildup in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, which limited the size and capability of the German military after World War I.
In summary:
- Germany had added 850,000 troops to its military by 1939.
- The number of aircraft increased by 8,214.
- The funds devoted to the military increased by 22% of the budget.
These changes evidently show Hitler's disregard for the Treaty of Versailles.
