Appeasement is when one person makes an effort to please someone who is being demanding and threatening. Sally is furious and she wants the ice cream Jonny has. She is throwing a hissy fit over it. Her mother serves her a bowl of ice cream but Sally is still gloomy because she wanted Jonny's bowl of ice cream, not just some ice cream. This happened in World War 2. Hitler wanted all of Europe and the Versailles Treaty annulled. What did he get? He got a small piece of Europe he had been wanting for a long time but that was not good enough for him. So what did he do? He invaded most of Europe. What did Sally do? She threw her ice cream at Jonny. Appeasement does not work because it is a lose lose situation.
In the context of World War II, "appeasement" is the politico-diplomatic policy of yielding to demands by an aggressor-nation for the sake of preserving peace. This was the policy followed by Great Britain and France, among other peace-oriented nations, during the 1930s.
