Appeasement

France and England should not have practiced Appeasement during the 1930’s As Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy launched themselves into increasingly aggressive military and foreign policies during the mid-1930s, the other Western nations hoped to avert a crisis by negotiating with these countries. The policy of "appeasement" was most evident, and most tragic, when representatives of Britain and France sat down with Hitler to discuss the fate of Czechoslovakia in 1938 at the Munich conference. …

…wrong with Hitler trying to unite all Germans? There was nothing wrong with trying to unite all Germans; it was Hitler’s approach that was incorrect. If Hitler had only taken the regions that Germans lived in such as the Sudetenland this would have been a reasonable goal. Unfortunately he annexed all of Austria, and Czechoslovakia and therefore proved that his actual goal was for domination of Europe and not a unified Germany. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
