Because we're like that. More to the point, the ENGLISH are like that. I'm scottish and there's NO WAY we would have tried that, we can be quite an aggressive bunch. The English are much more polite and reserved.
Because Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, was under the impression that Hitler was a reasonable guy. As to why they threw him bones in the first place, many in Britain believed the Treaty of Versailles was an incredibly harsh treaty. As Hitler's aims revolved mostly around abolishing it, many were sympathetic to his cause. Why shouldn't they be united with their fellow Germans in Austria? Unfortunately, Hitler was too greedy to comprehend; each final demand would be followed by another and another.
Generally, yes.
Appeasement simply didn't work . . . in fact, appeasement made the situation worse.
no
Appeasement was a foreign policy strategy that the British thought of, and was agreed upon by both Britain and France. Appeasement did not work, since Hitler ended up trying to annex Poland, which lead to a declaration of war.
Answer this question… German leaders would not settle for controlling only parts of the territories they wanted.
If you are referring to the appeasement of Hitler, it could be considered a mistake. However, neither the French and especially the British would not have gone to war over the Sudentland, so Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had no choice. A war would not have been supported. Either way, Hitler would have taken the Sudentland, war or no war.

The main form was appeasement in which the British and French agreed to give Germany the Czech Sudetenland in exchange for peace. It didn't work for Germany invaded the entire Czechoslovakia afterwards.
They persuaded the Czechs to surrender the Sudetenland.
Prior to World War II, Britain tried a strategy of appeasement with Hitler. It didn't work, and Hitler ended up taking Austria and Czechoslovakia.
The idea of appeasing your enemy to keep him at arms length away from you is a good idea in theory to protect yourself. But, enemies do not always stay appeased. Appeasement does not really work if the enemy is not appeased as in the case of Adolf Hitler. He went against every nation that tried the appeasement tactic with him.
Hardly, the blitzkreig hunger to conquer broke that tactic.
