Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement until the attack on Poland. They both declared war on Germany after the attack. Italy and Germany were in an alliance, and Russia had signed the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact in which neither side would attack each other. The Pact also consisted of secret provisions concerning how to divide Poland between the two powers. Hitler broke the Pact in 1941, declaring war on the Soviet Union and opening a front against the Russians after the fall of France.
Declared war on germany
Appeasement
Poland and i think Ukraine The invasion of Poland was the 'last straw' that caused Britain to declare war on Germany, but he had also annexed Austria (except for the singing Von Trapps!) and Czechoslovakia (Sudentenland) before that.

The western countries that were France, Italy- Benito Mussolini and Britain- Neville Chamberlain were appeasing to Hitler because he wanted Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia because it was occupied by a majority of a population of Germans... also Britain, Italy and France thought that if they agree to his demands in return of a favor of not invading any other territory. They signed this appeasement without the knowledge of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was shocked but could not do anything as it was not that powerful to defeat France, Italy, Germany, Britain or any of them.
Hitler re-armed the Rhineland in an attempt to see how France and Britain would react. The treaties signed by Hitler, especially the Versailles, clearly stated that if the Rhineland was entered and rearmed by Germany they were to be taken out immediately. France and Britain pitied Germany's losses though, and they let Germany have some leeway. In this, Hitler proved that France and Britain were weak and would be too late to stop his larger efforts

Hitler believed that expanding Germany was a great idea, but he miss judged Britain and France. He believed that they would stand aside after his invasion of Poland. Just like they did when he invaded the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.
The Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Once Germany invaded Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany starting World War Two.
Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, Holland.

Czechoslovakia, which was invaded by Germany with permission from Britain and France given at the Munich Conference. You ask which country was a "victim" of Britain's and France's willingness to appease Hitler, but you are not understanding the basic facts. The Sudetenland wanted to be part of Germany because they were Germans and they were separated from Germany after World War 1. So they were glad to get reconnected to Germany. Hitler used the issue of Sudetenland against Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia (including Sudetenland) were not part of Germany before WW1, but part of Austria-Hungary. When Austria-Hungary was broken-up as result of WW1, then Hitler decided to seize German-speaking Austria and then create a crisis w/ Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was seen as the victim of appeasement. By loosing the Sudetenland, they lost valuable territory rich in lignite, coal. So there was a victim - Czechoslavakia.
Prior to World War II, Britain tried a strategy of appeasement with Hitler. It didn't work, and Hitler ended up taking Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands and Belgium. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, USSR, and of course Britain (just a plan which was defeated).
Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland (The U.K. declared war 3 days later, after Hitler ignored a British ultimatum to leave).
Germany started becoming aggressive in early 1938, annexing Austria and pushing into Czechoslovakia with Italian help, alarming Britain and France. The latter two declared war on 3 September1939 - two days after Poland was invaded. France was overcome in May 1940 leaving Britain cornered.

The Nazis wanted the Rhineland back. It belonged to Germany, not France. They got it back when Britain and France tried to appease the Nazis.
