Detailed explanation-1: -Large amounts of money had been spent on developing the armed forces, especially the RAF. Chamberlain believed that he could use this strength to contain Germany and stop Hitler from expansion. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war. This ended the British government’s appeasement policy.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Countries like Britain and France followed ‘The Policy of Appeasement’ as: They knew that the Treaty of Versailles had been harsh on the defeated nations of World War I. They felt that countries like Germany and Italy had genuine grievances.
Detailed explanation-4: -Appeasement encouraged Hitler to be more aggressive, with each victory giving him confidence and power. With more land, Germany became better defended, with more soldiers, workers, raw materials, weapons and industries. This then shows the first way that appeasement caused World War Two.
