The region was the Sudetenland, which was in northern Czechoslovakia. Shortly after the concession, Hitler forced the collapse of the Czech state and assumed control of the rest of the country under a system known as The Protectorate.
In February 1938, Adolf Hitler threatened to invade Austria unless Austrian Nazis were given important government posts. In March 1938, Hitler announced the Anschluss, or unification, of Austria and Germany.
The Sudetenland
Appeasement
They didn't rearly. When Hitler violated many points of the Treaty of Versailles Neville Chamberlain (British prime minister at the time) was following a policy of appeasement towards Germany. Chamberlian thought that if he allowed Hitler to rectify the more unjust clauses of the treaty then he would be content and another world war would be averted; at the time France was still recovering from WWI and was unwilling to comit any kind of force to opposing German violation of the treaty. Unforunately Hitler did not stop with rebuilding the German armed forces and retaking the parts of Europe that had once belonged to Germany. The German army marched on Czechoslovakia in 1938 as this area was never part of Germany and at the Munich conference Hitler promised to stop there; this led to the infamous quote by Chamberlain "Peace in our time". Despite this signed promise by Hitler on September 1st 1939 the German army marched on Poland, this was the last straw. Hitler was given an ultimatum that stated of German armed forces did not withraw from Poland, Britain was prepared carry out its obligations to Poland and declare war on Germany.
There wasn't any invasion of Austria in world war 2, it was an adhesion... as the countries are culturally linked and Hitler was a born Austrian he wanted to reform some kind of "Great Germany" and integrated Austria to Germany some time before the war really started. This doesn't mean he had no opponents - but he found (or killed) some possibilities to overcome any obstacles (in Germany and in Austria).

He wanted the area of Poland that he considered German and France and England wanted to just make him happy, so they gave him what he wanted. What they didn't know is he made a deal behind their back with Stalin to take Poland and divide it between the two of them. He never kept any thing he signed or agreed to and never intended to keep it. The invasion of Poland came later. Hitler unified Austria into Germany in March, 1938 as the first step in re-establishing the German Empire. The major European powers let it happen. In April, he demanded Czechoslovakia cede Sudetenland to Germany. The Czechs refused. In September, England, France and Italy agreed to let Hitler have what he wanted in return for "peace in our time." That agreement, signed in Munich without the participation of the Czechs, was the appeasement which eventually encouraged Hitler to think that an invasion of Poland would not be opposed, an event that triggered WWII. Hitler wanted to establish German dominance, the 1,000 year Reich. T
Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, decided to trust Hitler at the Munich Conference and gave in to his demands and gave him the area of Czechoslovakia called, "Sudetenland". This was called appeasement. Chamberlain went home to Britain and claimed he had regained, "peace in our time". Meanwhile, Hitler had no intentions what so ever of following through with the treaty. Five months later he invaded Czechoslovakia and annexed the rest of it, going back on his word. Chamberlain then realised that Hitler could not be trusted and the appeasement policy ended. A few months later WWII was declared afet Germany invaded Poland. These were the effects of appeasing Adolf Hitler at the Munich Conference. Appeasement emboldened Hitler.
Appeasement
Appeasement is the practice of giving in to someone's demands. In pre-WWII, Hitler made many demands, starting in 1933. Most in the early stages of the Third Reich dealt with reversing the articles of the Treaty of Versailles (i.e. Reclaiming the Saar region & militarizing the Rhineland. France & England, having had enough of war in 1918 did not contest Hitler's actions. Next Austria's government was overthrown and taken control of by Germany. The Sudetenland, an area around the western rim of present-day Czech Republic was claimed by Germany, due to the number of Germanpeople living there after WWI. This land area was ceeded to become the newly formed country Czechoslovakia, under the articles of the Versailles Treaty.In each case, Hitler was appeased by the British and the French, in hopes to avoid war. Each time, Hitler stated that "....this is all we want for Lebenstraum (living space)...." Each time, he was appeased. This was continued until Hitler invaded Poland. Britain, with the backing of France, finally ended the policy of appeasing Hitler.
