Germany went from being a defeated country at the end of WW II, in 1918, to overrunning all of continental Europe in 1939, which was just 21 years later. The policy of appeasement, which was intended to make Germany happy so that it would not go to war, instead allowed Germany the opportunity to rebuild its military and to make all the necessary preparations for war, and to become the most powerful nation in Europe. So appeasement was a horribly foolish policy, as it turned out.

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.


What effect did the policy of appeasement have on the eurpean country on austria?

The policy of appeasement, particularly exemplified by the Munich Agreement in 1938, emboldened aggressive expansionist actions by Nazi Germany, leading to the annexation of Austria in March 1938. This annexation, known as the Anschluss, was facilitated by the lack of significant opposition from other European powers, which had hoped to maintain peace by conceding to Hitler's demands. As a result, Austria lost its sovereignty, becoming part of a greater German Reich, and the policy of appeasement ultimately failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II.

Whether this policy was wise is another question, for some have argued that a harder stance towards Germany in the 1930s could have led to a much quicker, less expansive war.
