The Sudetenland were areas along borders of Czechoslovakia, mainly inhabited by ethnic Germans. The agreement was negotiated at a conference held in Munich, Germany, among the major powers of Europe without the presence of Czechoslovakia. It was an act of appeasement. The agreement was signed in the early hours of 30 September 1938 (but dated 29 September). The purpose of the conference was to discuss the future of Czechoslovakia in the face of territorial demands made by Adolf Hitler. The agreement was signed by Nazi Germany, France, Britain, and Italy. The Sudetenland was of immense strategic importance to Czechoslovakia, as most of its border defenses were situated there, and many of its banks were located there as well. Thus, when Britain and France gave the Sudetenland to Germany, it was implied that they allowed him to take over all of Czechoslovakia as well.
The 1938 Munich Agreement is an infamous example of appeasement. In Munich, France, England, Italy and German leader Hitler, devised a plan to give the Sudetenland, a German populated part of Czechoslovakia, to Hitler. Hitler promised that if the allies agreed to allow this, there would be no wars in Europe. Prime Minister of England Chamberlain and France were fooled by Hitler, as he created a war a year later.
