Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The leaders' trust in their own people is not related to the mistake in believing Hitler's promise. Eliminate.
• Option 2: Hitler's true goal was to expand Germany's territory (gain more land) and increase his power, which went beyond just uniting German - speaking people. This explains why believing his initial promise was a mistake.
• Option 3: Starting another world war was a consequence of his desire for more land and power, not the reason the initial belief was a mistake. Eliminate.
• Option 4: There is no evidence that German - speaking people did not want to unite; Hitler's ulterior motives were the issue. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Because Hitler actually wanted more land and power.
