Neville Chamberlain's policy towards Adolf Hitler shifted from appeasement to a more confrontational stance between 1938 and 1939 due to escalating aggression from Nazi Germany, particularly the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland. The failure of the Munich Agreement to secure peace, coupled with Hitler's subsequent invasion of Czechoslovakia, demonstrated that appeasement had not prevented war but rather emboldened Hitler. By 1939, the threat to Poland and the broader stability of Europe prompted Chamberlain to abandon appeasement in favor of preparing for military engagement. This culminated in Britain declaring war on Germany following the invasion of Poland in September 1939.
Munich Conference
Chamberlain thought that by appeasing Germany and Hitler, he could prevent war. Chamberlain, and many in Britan, thought that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh and by giving back the land taken from Germany (and more) they would make Germany/Hitler happy and war would never come.
In 1938. Neither country was prepared for war with Germany so agreed to Germany taking over Austria, parts of Chezcoslovakia and parts of Poland.
The lessons of Munich in 1938, The Molotov-Ribbentrop (Nazi-Soviet) Pact, and Indian appeasement to the People's Republic of China in the run-up to the Sino-Indian War are textbook examples of the failing of appeasement. Collective security as evidenced by the successful NATO model instrumental to European security since its founding proved an effective deterrent to Soviet expansion into Western Europe in contrast.

'Appeasement'.
Yes he did. It was at Munich with his appeasement policy. On his return, he made his 'peace in our time' speech.
The policy of appeasement, particularly exemplified by the Munich Agreement in 1938, emboldened aggressive expansionist actions by Nazi Germany, leading to the annexation of Austria in March 1938. This annexation, known as the Anschluss, was facilitated by the lack of significant opposition from other European powers, which had hoped to maintain peace by conceding to Hitler's demands. As a result, Austria lost its sovereignty, becoming part of a greater German Reich, and the policy of appeasement ultimately failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II.

Appeasement is a policy of accepting the imposed conditions of an aggressor in lieu of armed resistance, usually at the sacrifice of principles. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeasement_policy
In response to the events of 1938-1940, France and England initially adopted a policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler, hoping to avoid war by conceding to some of his demands, such as the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland. However, as Nazi aggression escalated with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, both countries declared war on Germany. They began to mobilize their military forces, although their initial responses were hampered by unpreparedness and a lack of coordinated military strategy. The Fall of France in 1940 ultimately highlighted the failures of their early responses and the limitations of appeasement.
