A: The major powers felt it had been long enough since WW1

The U. K did not want to provoke another great war, so they allowed Germany to militarize the Rhineland as it was "Germany's backyard", which at the same time broke the Treaty of Versailles. However the U. K and France did send a diplomatic objection from the action (Germany didn't care).
