ocr: The Nazis' unchallenged success in Austria prompted them to step up their activity in the Sudetenland,a region in Czechoslovakia populated largely by ethnic Germans. After Hitler's accession to power in 1933, the population of this area became increasingly inclined to secede from the Czechoslovak state, and the local Nazi Party, headed by Konrad Henlein, grew in power. In March 1938, Hitler ordered Henlein to exacerbate the tensions with the Czech government in order to provide an excuse for German military intervention. a - - Kuenvacia Darf Nonmnbiente
