Czechoslovakia, which was invaded by Germany with permission from Britain and France given at the Munich Conference. You ask which country was a "victim" of Britain's and France's willingness to appease Hitler, but you are not understanding the basic facts. The Sudetenland wanted to be part of Germany because they were Germans and they were separated from Germany after World War 1. So they were glad to get reconnected to Germany. Hitler used the issue of Sudetenland against Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia (including Sudetenland) were not part of Germany before WW1, but part of Austria-Hungary. When Austria-Hungary was broken-up as result of WW1, then Hitler decided to seize German-speaking Austria and then create a crisis w/ Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was seen as the victim of appeasement. By loosing the Sudetenland, they lost valuable territory rich in lignite, coal. So there was a victim - Czechoslavakia.

Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria in based in the Treaty of Versailles. Many countries come to the conference but Germany was left out and was not allowed to form a super state with Austria. It was believed that were a union to occur between Germany and Austria, it would result in a state too powerful to be counterbalanced by Britain and France.
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.
The Sudetenland - that is, the ethnic German areas of Czechoslovakia adjoining Germany (and what had previously been Austria) were in effect handed over to Germany by Britain and France. As a result Germany didn't have to fight in order to get this area.
