The munich agreement and appeasement 1938



In September 1938 British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, met German Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Munich to settle the future of the Sudetenland. Hitler\'s demand that this Czechoslovak land be ceded to Germany was agreed because it was settled by Germans and would therefore be in line with the principle of national self-determination.Since coming to power in January 1933, Hitler had systematically sought to revise the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which had deprived Germany of territory, and imposed disarmament and swingeing reparations. Agreeing to Hitler\'s demands became known as Appeasement.At the time Chamberlain was accused of weakness in not standing up to Hitler. When the government archives were opened it became apparent that Britain\'s run down defence capability left few alternatives.

     Later historians have concluded that, while Britain had few alternatives, Chamberlain had misread Hitler\'s intentions.
