How did the munich agreement lead to world war 2?

Answer 1

The 1938 Munich Conference can be said to be one cause of World War II because of two connected factors. The first is that Hitler's sense of destiny (or, his confidence) was amplified, with a related boost of confidence in the German people and military leaders. The second is that the western allies presented themselves as weak-willed, as intimidated, as mere "appeasers" of aggressive policies by other nations, which opened the door to even more aggression by Germany, in particular.

Answer 2

After the Munich Agreement, Chamberlain headed back to Britain in belief of preventing war "peace in our time" however this only proved to be a smart advantage for Hitler. He had proved to Europe that neither Britain nor France would stand up against him, they were weak! They had dishonored Czechoslovakia for the sake of time to prepare for war. Now, Britain and France could be able to prepare for war in the future however now, Hitler was more confident than ever, he had taken a strong hold on the western border and all he needed now was a strong border to Russia, thus preventing his war on two fronts. The Munich agreement only made Hitler more stronger as all the business and industry's were found in the Sudetenland upgrading his army, this would only mean that taking the rest of Czechoslovakia would be easier than every, by March 15th 1939 he had been given all of Czechoslovakia with Poland gaining Teschen in 1938. He had broken the Munich agreement and was it soon became obvious that Hitlers main land gain purpose was fortification for war.

Answer 3

It convinced Hitler that he could get away with his annexations. To be fair, all of them to that point really had been re-annexations of territories that had been part of Germany until 1918 and that had been 'given away' to newly established countries by the Allies in 1919.

Munich encouraged Hitler to go on with his plans to overrun Poland, which was the start of WW 2..

The 'appeasement policy' of Munich has always been painted as proof of the British's spinelesness at the time. But British PM Chaimberlain really had no choice at the time. The USA was - and would remain for several years - firmly uninvolved, the French would never have gone to war with Britain against Germany, and Britain's land army in Europe was no match for Hitler's Wehrmacht and Chaimberlain knew it. Other European countries were either poorly armed and desperate to remain neutral, or well-armed like Spain and Italy but fascist, like Hitler's Germany.
