World War II Timeline, are Putin's recent actions similar to Hitler's in 1938?
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

1938

March 13
Austria is annexed by Nazi Germany.

September 30
The Munich Agreement is signed by Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy. The agreement allows Germany to annex the Czechoslovak Sudetenland area in exchange for peace in an attempt to appease Hitler.

1939

January 27
Adolf Hitler orders Plan Z, a 5-year naval expansion programme intended to provide for a huge German fleet capable of defeating the Royal Navy by 1944. The Kriegsmarine is given the first priority on the allotment of German economic resources. This is the first and only time the Kriegsmarine is given the first priority in the history of the Third Reich.

March 14
The pro-German Slovak Republic is created with Jozef Tiso as its first prime minister.

March 15
Germany occupies Czechoslovakia in violation of the Munich Agreement. The Czechs do not attempt to put up any organized resistance having lost their main defensive line with the annexation of the Sudetenland.
Germany establishes the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The protectorate includes those portions of Czechoslovakia not incorporated into Germany, Poland, Hungary, or the new Slovak Republic.

March 20
German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop delivers an oral ultimatum to Lithuania, demanding that it cede the Klaipėda Region (German name Memel) to Germany.

March 21
Adolf Hitler demands the return of the Free City of Danzig to Germany.

March 23
German–Romanian Treaty for the Development of Economic Relations between the Two Countries is signed.

March 31
The United Kingdom and France offer a guarantee of Polish independence.

April 3
Adolf Hitler orders the German military to start planning for Fall Weiss, the codename for the attack on Poland, planned to be launched on August 25, 1939.

April 18
The Soviet Union proposes a tripartite alliance with the United Kingdom and France. It is rejected.

April 28
In a speech before the Reichstag, Adolf Hitler renounces the Anglo-German Naval Agreement and the German–Polish Non-Aggression Pact

May 17
Sweden, Norway, and Finland reject Germany's offer of non-aggression pacts.

May 22
The Pact of Steel, known formally as the "Pact of Friendship and Alliance between Germany and Italy", is signed by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The Pact declares further cooperation between the two powers, but in a secret supplement the Pact is detailed as a military alliance.

July 10
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain reaffirms support for Poland and makes it clear that Britain did not view Free City of Danzig as being an internal German-Polish affair and would intervene on behalf of Poland if hostilities broke out between the two countries.

August 23
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, with secret provisions for the division of Eastern Europe - joint occupation of Poland and Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, Finland and Bessarabia. This protocol removes the threat of Soviet intervention during the German invasion of Poland.

August 25
In response to a message from Mussolini that Italy will not honor the Pact of Steel if Germany attacks Poland, Hitler delays the launch of the invasion by five days to provide more time to secure British and French neutrality.

September 1
Germany invades Poland, start of World War II.

Will Poland once again be the last straw?

Have Russia and China signed a secret military pact, just as Germany and Italy did in WWII?

Putin used the logic of Hitler when taking Crimea, that since they were Russian-speaking, Russian culture, it was not an invasion but friendly takeover.

Hitler used this same logic to seize Austria and Sudetenland.

Hitler gave Austria and Sudetenland a chance to vote on it?

It was "annexation" with German military force present.

If a vote has been held would it have been rigged anyway?

There was enough pro-German sentiment that it would have been similar to what we saw in Crimea.

No, they are completely different situations. The west overthrew the elected gov of Ukraine and installed their own useful idiot. Russia has he high ground and the moral authority on this one.

So Putin's actions are different than Hitler's. Because he did not annex Crimea and gave them a vote.
