The policy that France and Britain pursued against aggressive nations during the 1930s is known as appeasement. It is a policy of granting concessions to a potential enemy in the hope that it will maintain peace.
Spain
He called for an invasion of France
Made it easier for Mussolini to invade Ethiopia. Made it easier for Hitler to invade Europe. Used as a pretext to refuse any help to the French republic in 1939-1941, while France was at war against Hitler. Prevented FDR to offer more than consolation to Great Britain after the fall of France, until late 1941.
Probably because they did not want to go to war against Germany's formidable war machine and because they did not know, or did not want to believe that Hitler's designs were what they they turned out to be.
From1933 to 1939, Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement. In 1933 Hitler wanted to rearm, although forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. At a conference, Hitler said, "I will unarm if you do so too." He was allowed to by Britain as the treaty was said to be 'unfair'. They also ignored the remilitarisation of the Rhineland as Britain, France and the League of Nations were dealing with the Abyssinian crisis. They ignored his Anschluss with Austria and helped him gain the Sudetenland in order to appease him. Britain may have done this to give them time to rearm after the great depression and WW1, or Neville Chamberlain may not have realised that Hitler was not to be trusted, and that each demand was not his last one, as he kept promising. However in 1939 when he invaded the whole of Czechoslovakia, they realised, and ended appeasement.
