• increasing the size of its military: Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles by rearming and increasing military size, showing aggression.
• threatening to invade Italy: Germany was allied with Italy (Axis powers), so this is incorrect.
• refusing to enact the Anschluss: Germany did enact the Anschluss (annexed Austria), so this is incorrect.
• working to unite with the Sudetenland: Germany sought to annex the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia) through aggression (Munich Agreement context), showing expansionist aggression.
