The word "appeasement" means giving in to demands or pressures in the hope of stopping them (at least temporarily). It indicates a passive response which may not permanently eliminate a difficulty. Its negative connotation was famously applied to the British prime minister Neville Chamberlain and the Munich Pact of 1938.
The result of the Munich Conference on the brink of WW2 was that British and French leaders chose appeasement and allowed Hitler to annex territory.
