Appeasement
To halt German aggression.
Britain, the U.S., and France
The first German act of aggression towards the people of the Sudetenland, a region inhabited by ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia, occurred in 1938 when Adolf Hitler demanded the region's annexation. This demand was backed by propaganda and support from local German nationalists, leading to escalating tensions. The Munich Agreement, signed by Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland without military intervention, effectively marking the beginning of German aggression in the lead-up to World War II. This act set a precedent for further territorial expansion and aggression by Nazi Germany.
