Technically it was one country but got split into two.
Back in 1938, Czech Republic and Slovakia were one country, "Czechoslovakia". Parts of western Czech Republic had lots of German people living in them; this region was called Sudetenland. Hitler demanded Sudetenland, because he felt that German people should live in Germany (at least that's what he said). The leaders of France and England met with Hitler at Munich to decide what to do.
After the Munich Agreement allowed him to take the Sudetenland (even though nobody bothered to ask Czechoslovakia if that was ok), Hitler used this to weaken the Czechoslovakian government and military. About six months after taking Sudetenland, Hitler invited the president of Czechoslovakia to meet him in Berlin, where Hitler informed the president that Germany was invading. The president had a heart attack, and Germany did in fact invade. The Slovakian part of Czechoslovakia was separated out and made into its own country, but this new country was mostly under Germany's control too.
Perhaps you are also thinking of Austria? Austria was not part of the Munich Agreement, which is what "appeasement" typically refers to. Austria and Germany had been forbidden from merging by the treaties that ended World War I, and Hitler chose to ignore this. The Allies were not consulted, nor did they really do anything except complain when it happened.

How did killing the Jews benefit Hitler?

How did appeasement benefit Britain and France?
Although the former Allies, and especially British PM Neville Chamberlain, have been much maligned for their appeasemen policy, they realistically speaking had no other choice. France was totally focused on building defensive works and would in the meantime do nothing to provoke Hitler, let alone start an offensive war for which it was not prepared. Britain had been cutting back on its defense budget for years and only its Navy was superior to Germany's. Its army in Europe was much weaker than Germany's, and Chamberlain knew that he had not a single ally he could count on if he had wanted to start any punitive campaigns now. The US was firmly isolationist and other European countries were either Fascist themselves or just wanted to remain neutral. So Britain and France by appeasement bought time to prepare for war once it really would start - as they both fully expected it would.
How did Hitler care for the environment?
Well, considering that Hitler bombed the smithereens out of many countries and that he desperately wanted to be able to use nuclear bombs on his enemies he clearly did not care for the environment at all. On the other hand, Hitler was a vegetarian and we now know that a vegetarian driving a SUV is more green than a meat-eater riding a bicycle, so in that regard Hitler did care for the environment. However, Hitler was not a vegetarian out of concern for the environment but more out of concern for his health, so it can still be assumed that Hitler did not care for the environment.

How did the policy of appeasement help cause world war 2?
The policy of appeasement was a contributing factor to the outbreak of World War II because it was used against an opponent(Hitler) whose immediate goals included domination of Europe. Any act of appeasement stood little chance of satisfying him . He would always want more. As a matter of fact certain acts of appeasement did infuriate him such as when it delayed his acquiring Czechoslovakia. Once France and England came to the realization that Hitler could not be negotiated with they drew the line in the sand (guaranteeing Poland's sovereignty) that kicked of WWII. Most likely if they had acted decisively 2-3 years earlier they could have stopped Hitler without the risk of a long and costly war. Appeasment, a method used by Neville Chamberlain to make Hitler happy did not exactally cause the war. Hitler probably would have attacked Czechoslavakia if Chamberlain had not used a policy of appeasment. However, if Chamberlain had not the war would have been a lot shorter as Britain and France could have easily crused Hitler at the time. It was their inactiveity in face of battle that made WWII extremely difficult to win. Hi Sarah How could appeasement ever cause a war? Lets say ten states live together on a continent and everyone is appeasing eachother. How do you see a war there? Faith in military solutions to differences in opinion, belief that might is right, blind patriotism and aggressive foreign policies caused the war. Appeasement failed to prevent Britian from becoming engulfed in the war. Cheerio Tommy I don't think "cause" is the right word. World War II was caused by German aggression. But the policy of appeasement certainly did help bring the war about. If France and Britain had stood up to Germany when when Hitler did not have the strength to back up his threats, they might have forced him to back down without a fight or defeated Germany in a much shorter, less destructive war. Instead they kept giving him what he wanted, hoping to appease him, and Germany got stronger and stronger until defeating her required a fantastic war. Michael Montagne The policy of appeasement was not necessarily the primary reason for WWII. Although, appeasement was a major contributing factor. Great Britain and France both implemented the policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany because Europe was afraid of war at this moment. Europe had experienced WWI and the Depression. Appeasement worked because it temporarily averted war during hostile tensions. Another words it kept Hitler happy. Appeasement gave Hitler an apparently effortless triumphal march through the 1930s; it emboldened him and clouded his jugdement, but it didn't cause WW2.
