1939
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. Some say that it encouraged Germany to demand even more, but to most officials in France and Great Britain, appeasement was the most reasonable solution.

The Munich Agreement .
France and Great Britain ended their policy of appeasement and declared war on Germany following its invasion of Poland in September 1939. The violation of Polish sovereignty, coupled with Germany's aggressive expansionism under Adolf Hitler, prompted both nations to realize that further concessions would only embolden Nazi aggression. The failure of appeasement to prevent conflict and the need to uphold their commitment to Poland ultimately led to their declaration of war on September 3, 1939.
