The industrial area of the Saar was taken from the Germany by the Treaty of Versailles and put under the control of the League of Nations. After a 15 years a plebiscite was held. The population of the Saar decided if it should be returned to Germany or become an independent state. Most of the population was German . Before the vote , 17,000 Nazi's threatened to impose Nazi rule in the Saar and caused some problem . The plebiscite was held in January 1935 and over 90 percent voted in favour of returning to Germany . This was seen as a huge triumph for Hitler , and reversed an injustice of the Treaty of Versailles.
