The country that would have had to act - and quickly - was France. (The French had troops only 60-70 miles away). However, France was deeply divided at the time between Left and Right and was heading for a general election. It was in a particularly bad position to undertake any vigorous action in foreign affairs.
At first, Britain and France responded with a policy of appeasement to Hitler's expansion of Germany. It was only when they realized that he was not going to stop that they took action. Unfortunately, it had become a very serious problem by that point.

France would appease Hitler, allowing him to break the Versailles Treaty.
