30 sett 1938 anni - German Appeasement -- ending with the invasion of Poland

Descrizione:

The German Appeasement was a name given to the British policy in the 1930s that allowed Hitler to expand German territory unchecked.
Hitler's expansion aims became clear in 1936 when his troops entered the Rhineland and in March 1938 when he annexed Austria.
At the Munich Conference later that year, Neville Chamberlain thought he had adverted war by agreeing that Germany could occupy the Sudetenland; this became known as the Munich agreement.
The appeasement was popular for many reasons, as most people were desperate to avoid the devastation of another World War, and Commonwealth support wasn't a certainty like it was in the First World War. Many people also sympathized with Germany, as they felt it had been treated unfairly in the Treaty of Versailles.
In March 1939, Hitler abandoned the appeasement by occupying the whole of Czechoslovakia. Six months later in September 1939, Germany invaded Poland, officially beginning the Second World War.
