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.
1. In September 1938 Hitler demanded the area then called the Sudetenland. It bordered Germany and Austria and was ovewhelmingly German speaking. 2. Having got what he said he wanted, Hitler invaded the rest of the Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939. Parts of Slovakia were seized by Hungary and Poland, and the rest of Slovakia became a German puppet state.
Sudetenland was very important to Hitler as it contained roughly 3 million German speaking people. Since, Hitler believed in Anschluss ( reuniting all German speaking), this is why Sudetenland very important to him. Furthermore, Sudetenland is very ( and I mean very) important for Czechoslovakia as it contained their industries. So, losing Sudetenland means losing their industries as well as their defense.

The Sudetenland
Gauliga Sudetenland was created in 1938.
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.
The Sudetenland
In 1938, 28.8% of the Sudetenland population were Germans.
The Europeans most value the Sudetenland (which lies in the very center of Europe-Slovakia) they also call it the "heart of europe" because it lies in the middle and it has eminent mineral resources and is greatly forrested. It is so valuable that Hitler even included Sudetenland as one of his steps to conquer the world.
Hitler believed that there was a vast majority of Sudeten Germans in the Sudeten Land, and that by taking over it he was only complying with Wilson's idea of self-determination. He also thought that if in a later war he were to be attacked by the Russians that it would act as a first line of defence. Also by taking over Czechoslovakia he would be that one step closer to Poland and his policy of expanding East.
The Sudetenland crisis began at the beginning of 1938 and chamberlain flew out to meet Hitler on September the 15th.
The Sudetenland was an area in western Czechoslovakia (as it was then) which was German speaking and had some sympathy with German nationalism
