The main difference between the map of India in 1947 and 2012 is the partition of India in 1947, resulting in the creation of Pakistan and later Bangladesh. Additionally, over time, India has seen changes in its territories due to various events like the annexation of certain regions, border disputes, and the creation of new states for better governance.

The annexation of Austria in the Anschluss & the Sudetenland and then the occupation of the whole of Czechoslovakia.
France had a military alliance with Czechoslovakia yet signed an agreement with Hitler on 30 September 1938 in Munich which permitted Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland.
Austria and the Sudetenland Austria wasn't giving to Germany, Germany conquered it. Germany occupied Austria, not conquered it. The Sudetenland had been part of Czechoslovakia. Nevil Chamberlain negotiated its annexation to Germany in hopes of avoiding war.
Spelling! Sudetenland. The Sudetenland was part of Germany until 1806 and of the German Confederation between 1815 and 1866. After WWI and under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles the Sudetenland (some 11,000 square miles) became part of Czechoslovakia. As this was a German-speaking area, Hitler naturally claimed it for the Third Reich. The German annexation of the Sudetenland was what was agreed to at Munich in 1938. What Chamberlain and the Allies should have noticed was that the Sudetenland included nearly all Czechoslovakia's defensive works on the German border. Once it was occupied, the taking of the remainder of the country was a mere formality.
The portion of Czechoslovakia, called the Sudetenland had a large German population. The Munich Agreement caused the annexation of this territory to the German nation.
in 1938, Britain and France signed the Munich pact with Germany and Italy. The pact permitted German annexation of border areas of Czechoslovakia (sudetenland).
Most people in the Sudetenland did not support Nazi Germany's annexation of the region; they simply were not consulted. The minority who did were primarily ethnic Germans who saw the annexation as a further union of German states to Germany. This is the same reason why the majority of Austrians supported Anschluss in 1938.
The Sudetenland
Gauliga Sudetenland was created in 1938.
Hitler requested the return of the Sudetenland, which was heavily German speaking, at the Munich Conference. The Czechs were against it not because they feared the loss of the territory - it was German speaking and not loyal to Czechoslovakia hence was a liability, but because it was mountainous and their fortifications were there. Once Germany controlled the Sudetenland it was a clear shot to Prague.
The Sudetenland
They originally practiced the policy of appeasement. This means they gave in to his demands (as in Africa and in the annexation of Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia) to avoid another devastating world war. But they abandoned this policy when Germany invaded Poland.
