Advertisements
Solution
- The term ‘Appeasement’ refers to the diplomatic policy of making concessions to an aggressive power to avoid conflict.
- In the 1930s, it details Britain and France’s operations against Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
- These countries let Germany break the Treaty of Versailles by re-arming, re-militarising the Rhineland, and annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia to satisfy Hitler and avert war.
- This policy failed since it merely increased fighting and didn’t prevent World War II.
