In the 1930s, France and Britain initially responded to fascist aggression, particularly from Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, with a policy of appeasement, hoping to avoid another devastating conflict. Notably, they allowed the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936 and the annexation of Austria in 1938 without significant intervention. However, as aggression escalated, culminating in the invasion of Poland in 1939, both nations ultimately abandoned appeasement and declared war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II.
