Appeasement significantly impacted Czechoslovakia by emboldening Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland in 1938 without facing military opposition from France or Britain, who chose to placate Hitler rather than confront him. This loss weakened Czechoslovakia's defenses and sovereignty, ultimately leading to its complete occupation by German forces in 1939. The failure of appeasement thus not only dismantled Czechoslovakia's territorial integrity but also set a dangerous precedent for international relations in Europe.
The policy of appeasement refers to Hitler saying at the Munich conference that he would not invade any more of Europe after Czechoslovakia. It failed, obviously.

Munich Pact and the 1938 Crisis in Czechoslovakia. There are several others that I can;t think of off the top of my head.
The policy of appeasement failed notably in 1939 when Adolf Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Prior to this, appeasement had allowed for the annexation of Austria (Anschluss) in 1938 and the occupation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, underscoring its ineffectiveness in curbing Nazi aggression. The failure of appeasement highlighted the dangers of conceding to totalitarian demands, ultimately leading to the outbreak of World War II.
The policy of appeasement was used by the French and British to appease Hitler in the hopes that Hitler would leave their nations alone. The "appeasement camp" thought that if Hitler was given what he wanted he would be satisfied. They did not understand Hitler and his agendas. They Brits and French were made to look like fools when they found out Hitler had already taken the the Sudetenland at the time of the Munich Conference and signing of the pact that allowed Hitler to have the Sudetenland within Czechoslovakia. The policy appeasement is as foolish as giving your lunch to the school bully when he will only come back the next day.

The policy of appeasement.
Prior to World War II, Britain tried a strategy of appeasement with Hitler. It didn't work, and Hitler ended up taking Austria and Czechoslovakia.
The country that was the victim of appeasement at Munich in September 1938 was Czechoslovakia. During the Munich Agreement, Britain, France, Italy, and Germany allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a border region of Czechoslovakia, without the Czechoslovak government's consent. This act of appeasement aimed to prevent a larger conflict but ultimately emboldened Adolf Hitler's aggression and contributed to the outbreak of World War II.
Appeasement was the policy of European democracies that aimed to avoid war with the dictatorships of Germany and Italy. Churchill was unusual in believing that Germany menaced freedom and democracy and should be resisted over Czechoslovakia.
Most of the countries that the Nazis acquired were acquired through military might that was not appeased by the future Allied Powers. The only case of active appeasement was when Nazi Germany was allowed to take control of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. There was also passive appeasement when Nazi Germany retook the Rhineland and Saarland buffer regions as well as the Anschluss with Austria. Some of the countries that the Nazis did not acquire through appeasement include: Poland, the remainder of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco, etc.
