The Czechs were victims of the British and French policy of appeasement to keep the Nazis away from them. They had a German section in Czechoslovakia already. They basically hard balled the Czechs into conceding. The President of Czechoslovakia ended up in London and ruled many Czechs there. The policy of appeasement did not work because the French and Brits did not understand the Nazis and their ways.

The western countries that were France, Italy- Benito Mussolini and Britain- Neville Chamberlain were appeasing to Hitler because he wanted Sudetenland which was a part of Czechoslovakia because it was occupied by a majority of a population of Germans... also Britain, Italy and France thought that if they agree to his demands in return of a favor of not invading any other territory. They signed this appeasement without the knowledge of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was shocked but could not do anything as it was not that powerful to defeat France, Italy, Germany, Britain or any of them.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but the way Britain and France gave in to Hitler's demands was called Appeasement.
The policy became known as "appeasement" because in trying to avoid war, the other countries of Europe were giving Hitler what he asked for, and in the process allowing a weaker country (Czechoslovakia) to be annexed and occupied.
