While appeasement is often criticized for emboldening aggressive powers like Nazi Germany, it was not the sole cause of World War II. The complex interplay of unresolved grievances from World War I, economic turmoil during the Great Depression, and the rise of totalitarian regimes created a volatile environment that contributed to the conflict. Additionally, many nations initially believed that appeasement could prevent war, reflecting a desire for peace rather than a straightforward endorsement of aggression. Ultimately, multiple factors, including militarism, nationalism, and failed diplomacy, played significant roles in the outbreak of the war.

because it just was
The Germans were to blame
Appeasement, particularly the policies of Britain and France towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s, allowed Hitler to expand German territory unchecked, ultimately emboldening his aggressive ambitions. The Munich Agreement of 1938, which permitted the annexation of the Sudetenland, exemplified this approach and failed to prevent further aggression, leading to the invasion of Poland in 1939. By conceding to Hitler's demands, Western powers inadvertently encouraged his expansionist policies, contributing directly to the outbreak of World War II. Ultimately, appeasement undermined collective security efforts and demonstrated a miscalculation of Hitler's intentions.
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 outbreak of World War 2 was NOT Hitler's fault because he didnt sign the appeasement with chamberlain but all of the blame went on Hitler because her didnt sign this. He invaded poland but they wont happy so then the blame went on him again. France and Britain needed to lay of him for a bit but hitler retaliated and fought back and this is where the blame went on Hitler and this is why the outbreak was his fault. This is a reason why it wasnt his fault but mainly it was.
Appeasement was a foreign policy strategy that the British thought of, and was agreed upon by both Britain and France. Appeasement did not work, since Hitler ended up trying to annex Poland, which lead to a declaration of war.
It didn't
Poor judgement, he wasnt there to take care of her
Western powers favored appeasement because of the disillusionment with war, and did not want any other war after the WWI.
Placing oneself in the post war Nuremberg war trials, it's certainly understandable that the judgments placed all the blame for the outbreak of WW 2 on Nazi Germany. Certainly, it was Hitler's attempt to become the world's only great power through war. With that said, nothing at Nuremberg or shortly thereafter saw any reason to place either Western appeasement or the Nazi-Soviet Pact as part of the cause of the war. The Allies nor was that Pact on trial. Blame fell squarely on Nazi Germany, which was logical. However, there is no doubt that appeasement and the Nazi-Soviet Pact contributed to the outbreak of the war.

False. Pacifism is the refusal to fight in a war.
The policy of appeasement was not successful at all. The Axis powers had no interest in brokering peace but wanted war.
