| WITHDRAWAL OF GERMANY FROM THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE AND FROM THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. This marked the beginning of an independent policy in foreign affairs. | 1 |
| Nov. 12 | |
| Election of a new Reichstag. Ninety-three percent of the voters approved the government's action in withdrawing from the League; 92 percent voted for the Nazi list of candidates. There were no opposition candidates, but opponents of the regime, despite intimidation, cast about 3 million invalid ballots, the only way of registering disapproval. The Reichstag itself, under the new system, lost all importance and became little more than an assembly of Nazi leaders occasionally convoked to hear addresses by the Führer. | 2 |
