Some events to create :
March 13-April 10, 1938 New Popular Front Government in France After the Socialists withdrew from the cabinet, the government under Premier Camille Chautemps fell and Leon Blum attempted to organize a national coalition to deal with the acute international crisis in Czechoslovakia. Failing to form a cabinet, Premier Blum formed a new Popular Front government, but like its predecessors, the French Senate refused to support the Popular Front. As a result, Premier Blum was forced out of office.
March 14, 1938 German Assurances to Czechoslovakia With the incorporation of Austria into the Reich, the German government gave assurances to the Czechoslovak government of the German desire to improve relations between the two states. The French and Soviet governments categorically declared their intentions to honor their treaty obligations for the defense of Czechoslovakia.
March 16-19, 1938 Polish-Lithuanian Crisis As most of Europe was preoccupied with the German absorption of Austria, the Polish government issued a series of demands from the Lithuanians. Relations between the two countries remained bitter since the Polish seizure of Vilnius, and the Lithuanians refused to open their border with Poland. Although negotiators met for several years, no progress was made to establish full relations. Faced with the threat of war, the Lithuanian government immediately agreed to all of the Polish demands, including recognition of the status quo in eastern Europe. The Lithuanian capitulation prevented the crisis from escalating.
March 18, 1938 Mexican Expropriation of Foreign Oil Companies The Mexican government announced that the state would take over the property of American and British oil companies operating in Mexico. The total value of the nationalized property exceeded $450 million. The U.S. and British governments immediately protested against this policy. The Roosevelt administration canceled silver purchases from Mexico as a retaliatory measure. The British government went further, suspending diplomatic relations with Mexico. The Mexican public response unanimously supported the government action. The nationalization program clearly strained Mexico's relations with the U.S. and Britain.
March 22-25, 1938 Sudeten Withdrawal from Czechoslovak Government The members of the German Activists, German political parties which joined the Hodza ministry, withdrew from the Czechoslovak government. Prime Minister Milan Hodza responded by announcing a new Nationality Statute, designed to protect minorities in Czechoslovakia, but the Sudeten Germans were not swayed by the proposal.
March 26, 1938 National Mobilization Bill in Japan The Japanese government passed the National Mobilization Bill which gave the state dictatorial powers in the Japanese economy. The legislation went into effect on May 5th, and the new government and military budget exceeded 8.3 billion yen.
March 28, 1938 Establishment of Reformed Government of China The Japanese, following the same tactic used in Manchukuo, established a puppet regime in Nanjing (Nanking). Headed by token Chinese leaders, Japanese officials held all of the important government posts.
March 30, 1938 U.S. Fair Compensation Demand to Mexico U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull recognized that the Mexican government had the right to expropriate foreign property in Mexico, but demanded on fair compensation for American oil companies which lost their property.
April 1, 1938 U.S. Cancellation of Mexican Silver Purchases The Roosevelt administration discontinued its policy of purchasing Mexican silver at rates above the world price. This cancellation threatened Mexican financial stability but underscored the U.S. government's resolve that the Mexican government fairly compensate American oil companies which lost their operations in Mexico.
April 5-6, 1938 Scandinavian Defense Conference The foreign ministers of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden met to discuss a common defense policy for the region. The Danish government, facing a dominant Germany, was not willing to challenge the German regime. As a result, no common action was taken and each government determined their own rearmament and defense needs.
April 10, 1938 Austrian National Plebiscite Austrian voters registered a 99.75 percent tally in favor of union with Germany in a national plebiscite. As a result, Austria became part of the Reich as a new state, divided into seven districts (Gaue). The international community had little time to react to the German annexation due to the speed and energy of the German occupation. The British and French governments protested against this violation of the World War I peace treaties, but both powers were deeply involved in political problems in the Mediterranean and the Far East. The Italians, ever more dependent on the Germans, accepted the inevitable of a common border with Germany on the Brenner Pass. As a result of the plebiscite and the republic's incorporation into Germany, Austria withdrew as a member state from the League of Nations.
April 10, 1938 New French Government Edouard Daladier formed a new French cabinet, having served as Minister of Defense, and, as a Radical Socialist, was more to the right than Leon Blum. Premier Daladier received decree powers until July 31st, and immediately moved to devalue the French franc and end a new wave of strikes. His policies received the support of Leon Blum and the Socialists.
April 15, 1938 Spanish Nationalists Capture of Vinaroz Spanish Nationalist forces captured the port of Vinaroz, which cut Republican territory in Castile off from Barcelona and Catalonia. A major battle ensued on the Ebro River, resulting in a deadlock which lasted most of the summer.
April 16, 1938 Anglo-Italian Pact Eager to resolve outstanding issues between the two countries, the British and Italians concluded an agreement. The British sought to eliminate tensions with the Italians in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, while the Italians wanted to gain a counterweight to their growing dependence on Germany. The British government recognized Italian sovereignty over Ethiopia and agreed to use its influence to convince other countries to do the same. In return, the Italians promised to withdraw their troops from Spain at the end of the civil war and to respect Spanish territory. The Italian government also promised to desist from promoting propaganda in the Middle East. Both countries agreed to recognize the status quo in the Red Sea region. The terms of the agreement became operational upon the settlement of the Spanish Civil War. British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, was eager to reach an accommodation with the Italians to reduce tensions in the Mediterranean region.
April 19, 1938 Romanian Crackdown on Fascists The new Romanian government began an intensive attack on fascists in the kingdom. A Romanian court sentenced Corneliu Codreanu, leader of the Iron Guard, to six-months' imprisonment for libel and hundreds of Iron Guardists were arrested after discovery of an alleged plot against King Carol. On May 10th, Codreanu received an additional ten year sentence for treason.

April 24, 1938 Karlsbad Program-Sudeten German Demands Konrad Henlein, leader of the Sudeten Germans, issued a list of demands in his Karlsbad Program. The program included full equality of status for Germans and Czechoslovaks; full autonomy for Sudeten Germans; the removal of all injustices and reparations for damages suffered by Germans since 1918; full liberty for Germans to proclaim their heritage and support for the "ideology of Germans"; and a complete revision of Czechoslovak foreign policy. The Czechoslovak government rejected all of these demands, although the British and French governments urged some concession.
April 27, 1938 Turco-Greek Treaty of Friendship The Greek and Turkish governments signed a Treaty of Friendship designed to promote security in the eastern Mediterranean.
April 29, 1938 Anglo-Irish Agreement The British and Irish governments finally concluded a three-year economic agreement which addressed the problems which had plagued relations between the two states for several years. The Irish agreed to satisfy British land-annuity claims, paying 10 million pounds. Both countries agreed to eliminate all recent tariffs to promote trade between the two countries. The British turned over the coast defenses of Cobb, Bere Haven, and Lough Swilly to the Irish. The Unionist victory in the Northern Irish elections eliminated any chance of a political settlement to the Ulster problem. This agreement restored friendly relations between the two countries and even the Irish opposition supported the treaty.

Upon his return to Czechoslovakia, political disorders broke out across the Czechoslovak republic. Rumors of German troop concentrations on the border convinced the Czechoslovak government to mobilize 400,000 men. The British and French governments immediately threw their support behind the Czechoslovak government. In light of the strong initial Anglo-French stand to defend Czechoslovak sovereignty, the German government accelerated the construction of fortifications on the Western frontier of Germany and ordered an expansion of the Luftwaffe.
