The majority of the population was German, and he claimed that they were being persecuted by the Czechoslovak government.
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.
I Think It Was Hitlers Bloody Mess.
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.
i don't now
Definatly the occupation of the Sudetenland because he used no military force, he simply gained it by fear.
The Sudetenland
Gauliga Sudetenland was created in 1938.
The key reason was the desire to unite all Germans in one single Greater Germany. (Note that parts of Czechoslovakia were annexed by Hungary and Poland and that Slovakia became a Nazi puppet state).

The Sudetenland
He blamed the lose in WWI on the Jews, and blamed them for the economic depression in the 1930's. (He said the Jews had taken all the good jobs in German.)
In 1938, 28.8% of the Sudetenland population were Germans.
Hitlers father was Alois Hitler.
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.
Hitlers Bombe was created in 2005.
