EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -The guarantees given to Poland by Britain and France marked the end of the policy of appeasement. Instituted in the hope of avoiding war, appeasement was the name given to Britain’s policy in the 1930s of allowing Hitler to expand German territory unchecked.
Concept note-2: -The policy of appeasement that was carried out by Britain and France is often considered to be one of the main causes of World War II and began by Germany carrying out actions against the basic terms of the Treaty of Versailles that Germany was forced to accept at the end of World War I.
Concept note-3: -An example of appeasement is the infamous 1938 Munich Agreement, in which Great Britain sought to avoid war with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy by taking no action to prevent Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 or Germany’s annexation of Austria in 1938.
Concept note-4: -Appeasement was the policy of making concessions to the dictatorial powers to avoid conflict. This policy was followed by the British and the French to prevent wars with aggressive powers like Germany and Italy.
Concept note-5: -Appeasement allowed Hitler to believe that he could get away with anything, encouraging Hitler to take the risks that led to World War Two. The policy was seen as cowardly by many in the 1940s, reflecting the idea that Hitler ‘reacted’ to the actions of Chamberlain being cowardly, rather than him being an aggressor.
