From1933 to 1939, Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement. In 1933 Hitler wanted to rearm, although forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. At a conference, Hitler said, "I will unarm if you do so too." He was allowed to by Britain as the treaty was said to be 'unfair'. They also ignored the remilitarisation of the Rhineland as Britain, France and the League of Nations were dealing with the Abyssinian crisis. They ignored his Anschluss with Austria and helped him gain the Sudetenland in order to appease him. Britain may have done this to give them time to rearm after the great depression and WW1, or Neville Chamberlain may not have realised that Hitler was not to be trusted, and that each demand was not his last one, as he kept promising. However in 1939 when he invaded the whole of Czechoslovakia, they realised, and ended appeasement.

How did Hitler respond to French and British appeasement?

he responded by asking for more and more. he broke the agreements made as a result of Germany apparently starting WW1. He was given land such as the Sudetenland through appeasement which caused him to undermine the power of Britain and France. he became more powerful and confident with each successful demand, and this is one of the caused of WW2.


What is an example of appeasement?

Appeasement is the practice of giving in to someone's demands. In pre-WWII, Hitler made many demands, starting in 1933. Most in the early stages of the Third Reich dealt with reversing the articles of the Treaty of Versailles (i.e. Reclaiming the Saar region & militarizing the Rhineland. France & England, having had enough of war in 1918 did not contest Hitler's actions. Next Austria's government was overthrown and taken control of by Germany. The Sudetenland, an area around the western rim of present-day Czech Republic was claimed by Germany, due to the number of Germanpeople living there after WWI. This land area was ceeded to become the newly formed country Czechoslovakia, under the articles of the Versailles Treaty.In each case, Hitler was appeased by the British and the French, in hopes to avoid war. Each time, Hitler stated that "....this is all we want for Lebenstraum (living space)...." Each time, he was appeased. This was continued until Hitler invaded Poland. Britain, with the backing of France, finally ended the policy of appeasing Hitler.
