WORLD HISTORY

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: -The policy of appeasement is seen by some to be a primary cause of World War II. This view holds that British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and other Western leaders enabled Adolf Hitler to become increasingly aggressive in his foreign policies due to their willingness to appease Nazi Germany.

Detailed explanation-3: -No one wanted another world war after the devastation of the First World War, therefore, appeasement was a method to avoid a war. Britain could not fight another war, the equipment Britain had was out of date and Britain did not have sufficient numbers to keep up a long war against Germany.

Detailed explanation-4: -September 29–30, 1938: Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and France sign the Munich agreement, by which Czechoslovakia must surrender its border regions and defenses (the so-called Sudeten region) to Nazi Germany. German troops occupy these regions between October 1 and 10, 1938.
