Hitler saw appeasement as weakness on the part of Britain & France. As long as they didnt use military force to compel him to actually do anything it gave time for him to build the German war machinery. Austria had been annexed in to greater Germany & the Sudeten Germans & then Czechoslovakia itself became part of Germany. And had it stopped there then the world history would be very different. The invasion of Poland was, to Britain & France beyond what they could accept. Even then there was reluctance on the part of the French. The Germans invaded Poland on September 1st 1939 & was told to withdraw. On the 3rd Britain declared war. Appeasement was shown for what it was, foolhardy but well intentioned, empty rhetoric without anything to enforce it. Its lack of determination, backbone if you will, would cost many people their lives in many years to come. but then, the road to hell is paved with good intentions....
Britain and France used appeasement in an effort to avoid a second war. They gave in to Hitler's demands if he gave them something in return, namely promising to end his conquest. No matter how shocking this is, most people thought Hitler was harmless at the time and kept an eye on Mussolini in Italy.
Because it ment there would be no war and also there was clear communication between countries
The attempt to appease the Third Reich was a disastrous failure, which only served to hasten the arrival of WW II.
Britain opposed the policy and fought back while france accepted the policy and was taken over by germany
to prevent war
Appeasement. (They let Hitler essentially do what he wanted until he invaded Poland).
because they did not have a chose
In the years leading up to World War II, Great Britain (as well as France) indulged in an appeasement policy toward Germany and other aggressor-nations. One negative result was that it encouraged Germany, in particular, to continue making demands and engaging in aggressive policies. On the other hand, it undeniably bought time for the nation to rearm and otherwise prepare for the war that increasingly seemed to be a certainty.
both Great Britain and France
Nope - France is an entirely separate country from Great Britain.
why did France and britiain choose the policy of appeasement

According to some, appeasement was reasonable because Great Britain and France were in no shape to fight another war with Germany. The only other option was appeasement, which allowed Germany to take control of the Sudetenland. Some say that it encouraged Germany to demand even more, but to most officials in France and Great Britain, appeasement was the most reasonable solution.
