Primarily because they were not prepared (militarily or politically) to fight Germany or resist Hitler at the risk of war, until Hitler attacked Poland on September 1, 1939. Although they did not entirely trust Hitler, they hoped that Hitler's aggressions would end after he seized the Sudetenland in October 1938.

How did appeasment lead to war?

It really was not appeasement that lead to war it was the deception by Hitler that angered the nations who signed non-aggression pacts with Hitler. They declared war on him when he attacked Poland (who had not signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler). In truth it was not the violation of appeasement non-aggression pacts that started the war it was the violation of the Treaty of Versailles that incensed the French and Brits. They declared war after Hitler went after Poland with a military force he was not supposed to have and for an aggression he was not supposed to carry out.

What followed policy of appeasement?

The policy of appeasement, primarily associated with Britain and France's concessions to Nazi Germany in the 1930s, ultimately led to World War II. As Adolf Hitler continued to expand German territory and violate treaties without facing significant opposition, it emboldened him and increased tensions in Europe. The failure of appeasement was starkly evident when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of the conflict. This approach is now widely criticized as it allowed totalitarian regimes to gain strength and destabilize Europe.
