George F. Kennan viewed the Munich Agreement and the appeasement policy as unnecessary because he believed it emboldened totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany rather than containing them. He argued that such concessions only delayed conflict and failed to address the underlying issues of aggression and expansionism. Kennan contended that a stronger stance against fascism could have deterred further aggression, ultimately leading to a more favorable outcome for democratic nations. Thus, he saw the Munich approach as a miscalculation that compromised Western security.

Truman was influenced by Kennan's writing and and the Marshall Plan is evidence. The later development into the Cold War strategy was not Kennan's idea.

Containment
By writing articles and memoranda, he convinced the US that the Soviet Union was hostile
George Kennan's "Long Telegram" essentially depicted the USSR driven by expansionist Communist ideology. It gave the soviets the name that they would constantly probe for weaker nations.
By writing articles and memoranda, he convinced the US that the Soviet Union was hostile.
Containment
During the Cold War, diplomat George Kennan proposed the policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism. This strategy aimed to restrict Soviet influence and communist expansion by supporting countries vulnerable to Soviet pressure. Kennan believed that through diplomatic, economic, and military means, the U.S. could contain communism and eventually lead to its decline.
Hitler obtained permission to go to war with Czechoslovakia in Munich, Germany via the Munich agreement. The Munich Agreement occurred in 1938.
The Mexican-American War was not unnecessary.
