Britain and France appeased Hitler before World War II primarily to avoid another catastrophic conflict like World War I, which had left deep scars on their societies and economies. Additionally, they underestimated Hitler's ambitions and believed that satisfying his territorial demands, such as the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland, would maintain peace in Europe and stabilize the region.

What is an Appeasement example?

Appeasement is the practice of giving in to someone's demands. In pre-WWII, Hitler made many demands, starting in 1933. Most in the early stages of the Third Reich dealt with reversing the articles of the Treaty of Versailles (i.e. Reclaiming the Saar region & militarizing the Rhineland. France & England, having had enough of war in 1918 did not contest Hitler's actions. Next Austria's government was overthrown and taken control of by Germany. The Sudetenland, an area around the western rim of present-day Czech Republic was claimed by Germany, due to the number of Germanpeople living there after WWI. This land area was ceeded to become the newly formed country Czechoslovakia, under the articles of the Versailles Treaty.In each case, Hitler was appeased by the British and the French, in hopes to avoid war. Each time, Hitler stated that "....this is all we want for Lebenstraum (living space)...." Each time, he was appeased. This was continued until Hitler invaded Poland. Britain, with the backing of France, finally ended the policy of appeasing Hitler.

Could the war have been avoided if the Allies had not appeased Hitler at the Munich Conference in 1938?

No. Hitler wanted the war and was ready to fight to seize all of Czechoslovakia. The appeasement just delayed the war. Hitler was the key reason for the war. Hitler knew that France & Britain could do nothing to save Czechoslovakia unless they attacked Germany first, which he also knew that they would not do.

What were Hitler's thoughts about France during World War 2?

Hitler hated the Treaty of Versailles and thought it unfair. Most people in Europe also thought the same, so when Hitler began to break the terms of the treaty, he was appeased and allowed to do it. If Hitler was going to re-gain everything that Germany had lost through this Treaty, then he had to invade other countries. The treaty of Versailles had given each race of people their own country, but this meant that there were many Germans spread all over Europe. In order to re-unite them he had to invade other countries. To destroy Communism Hitler would have to wage war with the USSR. Britain and FRANCE also hated Communism and the would probably support a war between Germany and the USSR. As Hitler started to try to achieve his aims and Britain and FRANCE appeased him and allowed Germany to become more powerful. Hitler's Foreign Policy aims, which were made public were a large cause of WW2 as they showed that Hitler was going to fight countries for what he wanted. It was obvious from the very beginning, that the only way to stop Hitler would be through war. His Foreign Policy aims became an ever bigger cause of the war, when Hitler began achieving them. TERMS OF TREATY: Germany's armed forces to be severly limited. WHAT HITLER DID AND WHEN: In 1933, Hitler increased Germany's armed forces. In 1935 he made an agreement with Britain to increase naval forces and he introduced conscription in 1936. THE REASONS HE GAVE FOR HIS ACTIONS: He needed larger armies to protect Germany and large armies also provided jobs and solved unemployment problems caused by the Great Depression. THE RESPONSE FROM BRITAIN & FRANCE: Britain sympathised with Germany believing that the Treat of Versailles had been too unfair on them. FRANCE was angry at Britain, but there was little they could do. Therefore, Hitler disregarded France and considered them his enemy.
