WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -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 Britain could not fight another war, the equipment Britain had was out of date and Britain did not have sufficient numbers to keep up a long war against Germany.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-2: -An example of appeasement is the infamous 1938 Munich Agreement, in which Great Britain sought to avoid war with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy by taking no action to prevent Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 or Germany’s annexation of Austria in 1938.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Policy of Appeasement led to the Second World War as Britain and France, two of the main powers in 20th century Europe, failed to appease Hitler to the extent where war with Nazi Germany was inevitable.
