The Allies, notably Great Britain, had little choice but to appease: Britain had a strong fleet but no land army that was any match for Germany's at the time. France was divided on the subject and anyway focused on defence against Germany, not on offense. The USA was firmly isolationist: public and Congress were totally against any further involvement in European wars and would remain so until well into WW 2. The other European countries were either poorly armed, keen to stay out of trouble or had Fascist regimes themselves.

Britain and France were indeed buying time: France to further strengthen its defences, Britain expecting that Germany's mostly eastward annexations would finally get them into armed conflict with the USSR, which would weaken both parties.

Can government limit freedom of expression?

Yes, freedom of expression can be limited if any obscenity of defamation is used. Also, government can restrict your time, place, and manner. For example, you cant shout "Fire" in a theater just for fun. Somebody could get hurt rushing out of the theater. Freedom is a very valuable freedom, but could be limited in some ways.
