The Sudetenland
Hitler requested the return of the Sudetenland, which was heavily German speaking, at the Munich Conference. The Czechs were against it not because they feared the loss of the territory - it was German speaking and not loyal to Czechoslovakia hence was a liability, but because it was mountainous and their fortifications were there. Once Germany controlled the Sudetenland it was a clear shot to Prague.
Sudetenland was the western border of Czechoslovakia where nearly 3 million people spoke German. Sudetenland was later given to Germany by Great Britain due to the signing of the Munich Agreement by Daladier and Neville Chamberlain on September 30, 1938 to avoid war.
Austria and the Sudetenland Austria wasn't given to Germany, Germany conquered it
He was given permission to take the Sudetenland, part of Austria.
Pretty much. The Allies tried to prevent a war by giving Hitler the Sudetenland, which he wanted, on the condition that it was the last German expansion. (Spoiler: It wasn't)
