Berlin Conference
false
The Munich conference was a meeting of four European countries (Italy, France, Great Britain and Germany). The agreement allowed Germany to annex Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. Czechoslovakia was not present at this conference, and it should be noted that this land contained key heavy industries, as well as 3 million Germans.
On November 5, 1937, Adolf Hitler held a secret conference where he discussed his plans for the acquisition of Lebensraum. He also discussed various military strategies to capture Czechoslovakia and Austria, placement of troops, and the general expansion of Germany.
On September 29 & 30, 1938, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy met in Munich to decide what action, if any, to take concerning Germany's aggression in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had no say in the discussion. BTW, the only delegate who did not need an interpreter was Mussolini. Source: "Il Duce: The Rise and Fall of Benito Mussolini" by Richard B. Lyttle.

Czechoslovakia lost land at the Munich Conference in 1938. The agreement, reached among Germany, Britain, France, and Italy, allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a significant ethnic German population. This decision was made without Czechoslovakian participation and aimed to appease Hitler to avoid further conflict in Europe. Ultimately, it weakened Czechoslovakia and contributed to the onset of World War II.
