29 sept 1938 año - Munich Conference

Descripción:

After Germany invaded the Sudetenland, Chamberlain, the prime minister of Britain, met with Hitler at Munich while the Czechs were not invited to the conference. The conference was for the leader of Germany and Britain to discuss what would happen later for Germany and the Sudetenland. Chamberlain wanted to preserve peace in Europe using appeasement, meaning he would give Hitler what he wanted in order to keep him satisfied so he would not do anything else like that again. This resulted in Chamberlain giving Hitler all the things he wanted, including giving Germany Sudetenland. Some people in Britain agreed with this decision because it preserved peace in Europe while others disagreed because they believed the conference was not fair for the Czechs and Hitler should be dealt with more harshly. After the conference, Germany invaded and took over Czechoslovakia.
The Munich Conference was important because it showed how bad political decisions can lead to some disastrous results. Although the people in Britain and France were tired of war, they should protect the smaller and weaker nations in Europe, such as Czechoslovakia, because it was what the League of Nations agreed to do. Instead of protecting these countries, the British gave them up to the Germans in order to preserve peace, which shows the weakness of a political promise. Although the Munich Conference bought Britain some time to prepare for war, it also delayed the war so that Hitler had time to expand the power of the Nazis in Germany and other areas, harming other countries in the process. This increased the difficulty for Britain and France to defeat Germany in World War II and caused more damage to the smaller countries conquered by Germany in the process.
