EXPLANATIONS BELOW

Concept note-1: -Appeasement allowed Hitler to think that he could do what he pleases, and he took too many risks, unsure of when the allied forces would respond. Appeasement encouraged Hitler to be more aggressive, with each victory giving him confidence and power.

Concept note-2: -What was the result of appeasement? Appeasement reached its climax in September 1938 with the Munich Agreement. Chamberlain hoped to avoid a war over Czechoslovakia by conceding to Adolf Hitler’s demands. The Agreement allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, the German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia.

Concept note-3: -In March 1939, Nazi Germany broke this agreement and occupied the Czech lands, including Prague. And, in September 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, an act of territorial aggression and expansion that started World War II.
