I have now given the British Government a memorandum with a final German proposal. ... The contents of this
proposal are very simple: The area whose population is
German and which wants to join Germany, comes to
Germany... right now, immediately! I have selected the
border which, based on the information on the
demographic and linguistic distribution in
Czechoslovakia which has been available for decades, is
just. ... I have also assured [Britain), and I repeat this
assurance here, that, once this problem is solved, there
exist no further territorial problems for Germany in
Europe!... My patience is now exhausted! I have made
Mr. Benes (the leader of Czechoslovakia] an offer The
decision is in his hands! Peace or war! Either he accepts
this offer and finally gives the Germans their freedom, or
we will come and take this freedom ourselves!

Adolf Hitler, 1938
What information from this document might be useful
if you wanted to explain that Germany had an
aggressive foreign policy?
o the description of the border Hitler has chosen for
the Sudetenland
O the assurance that this is the only territory that
interests Germany
O the announcement that Hitler has given a memo to
the British government
O the declaration that if Germany is not given the
Sudetenland, it will invade
