Because they were going to join Germany.

The German army moved into the Sudetenland 16 March 1939, the Munich Agreement, which gave the land to Germany happened in September 1939. The Czechoslovakian government circulated 21 September and a few days later the Nazi's installed a puppet government.
in 1938, Britain and France signed the Munich pact with Germany and Italy. The pact permitted German annexation of border areas of Czechoslovakia (sudetenland).
The Sudetenland
In 1938, 28.8% of the Sudetenland population were Germans.
Hitler believed that there was a vast majority of Sudeten Germans in the Sudeten Land, and that by taking over it he was only complying with Wilson's idea of self-determination. He also thought that if in a later war he were to be attacked by the Russians that it would act as a first line of defence. Also by taking over Czechoslovakia he would be that one step closer to Poland and his policy of expanding East.
The Sudetenland crisis began at the beginning of 1938 and chamberlain flew out to meet Hitler on September the 15th.
Yes, there are historical maps available that show the annexation of the Sudetenland by Nazi Germany in 1938. You can find these maps in books, museums, or online archives specializing in World War II history.
The annexation of Austria in the Anschluss & the Sudetenland and then the occupation of the whole of Czechoslovakia.
France had a military alliance with Czechoslovakia yet signed an agreement with Hitler on 30 September 1938 in Munich which permitted Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland.
Austria and the Sudetenland Austria wasn't giving to Germany, Germany conquered it. Germany occupied Austria, not conquered it. The Sudetenland had been part of Czechoslovakia. Nevil Chamberlain negotiated its annexation to Germany in hopes of avoiding war.
Spelling! Sudetenland. The Sudetenland was part of Germany until 1806 and of the German Confederation between 1815 and 1866. After WWI and under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles the Sudetenland (some 11,000 square miles) became part of Czechoslovakia. As this was a German-speaking area, Hitler naturally claimed it for the Third Reich. The German annexation of the Sudetenland was what was agreed to at Munich in 1938. What Chamberlain and the Allies should have noticed was that the Sudetenland included nearly all Czechoslovakia's defensive works on the German border. Once it was occupied, the taking of the remainder of the country was a mere formality.
yes it was in 1989 was the official date
The portion of Czechoslovakia, called the Sudetenland had a large German population. The Munich Agreement caused the annexation of this territory to the German nation.
US annexation, 7 July 1898 I didnt ask what the date what i asked why was the date so important
in 1938, Britain and France signed the Munich pact with Germany and Italy. The pact permitted German annexation of border areas of Czechoslovakia (sudetenland).
Most people in the Sudetenland did not support Nazi Germany's annexation of the region; they simply were not consulted. The minority who did were primarily ethnic Germans who saw the annexation as a further union of German states to Germany. This is the same reason why the majority of Austrians supported Anschluss in 1938.
The Sudetenland
Gauliga Sudetenland was created in 1938.
