Detailed explanation-2: -Many people felt that the Treaty had caused terrible resentment in Germany on which Hitler had been able to play in order to achieve power. The government believed that Hitler and Germany had genuine grievances, but that if these could be met (’appeased’) Hitler would be satisfied and become less demanding.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The policy of Appeasement was the conciliatory approach of making an admission to the adversary nation to dodge war.
