Appeasement is the practice of giving in to someone's demands. In pre-WWII, Hitler made many demands, starting in 1933. Most in the early stages of the Third Reich dealt with reversing the articles of the Treaty of Versailles (i.e. Reclaiming the Saar region & militarizing the Rhineland. France & England, having had enough of war in 1918 did not contest Hitler's actions. Next Austria's government was overthrown and taken control of by Germany. The Sudetenland, an area around the western rim of present-day Czech Republic was claimed by Germany, due to the number of Germanpeople living there after WWI. This land area was ceeded to become the newly formed country Czechoslovakia, under the articles of the Versailles Treaty.
In each case, Hitler was appeased by the British and the French, in hopes to avoid war. Each time, Hitler stated that "....this is all we want for Lebenstraum (living space)...." Each time, he was appeased. This was continued until Hitler invaded Poland. Britain, with the backing of France, finally ended the policy of appeasing Hitler.
