Financed by <a href="/wiki/Deficit_spending" title="Deficit spending">deficit spending</a>, the regime undertook extensive public works projects, including the <a href="/wiki/Reichsautobahn" title="Reichsautobahn">Autobahnen</a> (motorways) and a massive <a href="/wiki/German_rearmament" title="German rearmament">secret rearmament program</a>, forming the <a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a> (armed forces). The return to economic stability boosted the regime's popularity. Germany made increasingly aggressive territorial demands, threatening war if they were not met.
