Generally speaking, Europe was still reeling from the bloody battles of WWI and was reluctant to engage in another massive conflict.
Many of Britain's leading thinkers felt that if Germany were given some concessions to remedy their unfair treatment at the end of WWI, that their leaders would be content and a peace could be maintained.
Neville Chamberlin was the Prime Minister of Britain at the time and he believed in the policy of Appeasement.
Appeasement was basically when Neville Chamberlin told Hitler he could have whatever he wanted just as long as he maintained peace (didn't start a war) in the most common case people generally refer to Hitler and the Sudetenland In 1938,
*The actual word appeasement means to please someone...
* the Sudetenland was in Czechoslovakia and it was full of german speaking people (thats why Hitler wanted it ! and he also wanted to expand his land to have more living space for his people)

No - a policy would be a statement of intent by a company or other organisation to do something in a particular way. For example it is our policy to implement our Health and Safety Code of Practice. The Code of Practice would govern the way/s that the particular tasks or issues should be performed or addressed.
