Detailed explanation-1: -Hitler’s invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Most closely associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it is now widely discredited as a policy of weakness.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
