germany hoped to sever its ties with italy.

Explanation:

1. Germany's interwar/WWII foreign policy aimed to expand its power and global standing, so increasing influence was a core goal.
2. The Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh, humiliating terms on Germany (territory loss, reparations, military limits), which was a major driver of revisionist foreign policy.
3. Acquiring more territory (Lebensraum, or "living space") was a key ideological and strategic objective of Nazi Germany's foreign policy.
4. Germany allied with totalitarian Italy (Axis Powers), so it did not oppose totalitarianism.
5. Germany sought and maintained an alliance with Italy, so it did not aim to sever ties.

Answer:

A. Germany was determined to increase its influence.
D. Germany did not like the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
E. Germany wanted to acquire more territory.
