Just prior to the outbreak of World War II, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeared to be convinced that appeasement was useless by Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia. This event occurred in March of 1939; soon thereafter, Chamberlain-led Britain offered a Guarantee-of-Independence to Poland, which appeared to be the next intended victim of German aggression.
No, because it failed with Hitler.

Chamberlain thought that by appeasing Germany and Hitler, he could prevent war. Chamberlain, and many in Britan, thought that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh and by giving back the land taken from Germany (and more) they would make Germany/Hitler happy and war would never come.

During the American Revolutionary War, the action that finally convinced the British to negotiate for a final peace with the Americans was a major battle -- in fact, a victory for the Americans. This victory came at Yorktown (Virginia) in 1781, where a combined American and French force surrounded and exacted the surrender of a British army led by Lord Cornwallis.
That is was the best course of action to keep "peace in our time."
No, because it failed with Hitler.
Appeasement
The term "appeasement", meaning "diplomatic action which makes concessions to aggressor-nations", may be used in various ways in a sentence. One example is as follows: "In 1938, appeasement was the key to Great Britain's relation with Germany; however, in 1939, the key became war."

Pragmatists believe that thoughts that do not have practical implications or cannot be tested through experience are considered useless. They emphasize the importance of thinking that leads to action and has real-world relevance. Useless thoughts, according to pragmatists, do not contribute to solving problems or enhancing understanding.
Basically, yes, knowledge is useless without imparting it to someone else or putting it to good use.
