Detailed explanation-1: -appeasement, Foreign policy of pacifying an aggrieved country through negotiation in order to prevent war. The prime example is Britain’s policy toward Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Detailed explanation-2: -No one wanted another world war after the devastation of the First World War, therefore, appeasement was a method to avoid a war.

Detailed explanation-3: -The policy of appeasement is seen by some to be a primary cause of World War II.

Detailed explanation-4: -The May Crisis was a brief episode of international tension in 1938 caused by reports of German troop movements against Czechoslovakia that appeared to signal the imminent outbreak of war in Europe.
