Hitler saw appeasement as weakness on the part of Britain & France. As long as they didnt use military force to compel him to actually do anything it gave time for him to build the German war machinery. Austria had been annexed in to greater Germany & the Sudeten Germans & then Czechoslovakia itself became part of Germany. And had it stopped there then the world history would be very different. The invasion of Poland was, to Britain & France beyond what they could accept. Even then there was reluctance on the part of the French. The Germans invaded Poland on September 1st 1939 & was told to withdraw. On the 3rd Britain declared war. Appeasement was shown for what it was, foolhardy but well intentioned, empty rhetoric without anything to enforce it. Its lack of determination, backbone if you will, would cost many people their lives in many years to come. but then, the road to hell is paved with good intentions....

There is no party able to secure a clear majority in France, so the best-placed one has to pick allies and form a coalition to rule. . The current (2012-2014 and maybe more) government is led by the Socialist party, which rules with the help of a minor centre-left party and Ecologists. The Communist party, the far left, all of the right wing parties are out of the current coalition and majority.
