Maybe, but the west was also too lax on enforcement. In 1936, the Nazis tested the UK and France by re-militarizing the Rhineland. Even Hitler ater admitted that had the west responded forcefully, he would've had to turn tail and retreat. In essence, it was a bluff and when the west didn't react, it emboldened him to go further.
