Although the former Allies, and especially British PM Neville Chamberlain, have been much maligned for their appeasemen policy, they realistically speaking had no other choice. France was totally focused on building defensive works and would in the meantime do nothing to provoke Hitler, let alone start an offensive war for which it was not prepared.
Britain had been cutting back on its defense budget for years and only its Navy was superior to Germany's. Its army in Europe was much weaker than Germany's, and Chamberlain knew that he had not a single ally he could count on if he had wanted to start any punitive campaigns now. The US was firmly isolationist and other European countries were either Fascist themselves or just wanted to remain neutral.
So Britain and France by appeasement bought time to prepare for war once it really would start - as they both fully expected it would.

According to some, appeasement was reasonable because Great Britain and France were in no shape to fight another war with Germany. The only other option was appeasement, which allowed Germany to take control of the Sudetenland.
