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.
Sudetenland was the western border of Czechoslovakia where nearly 3 million people spoke German. Sudetenland was later given to Germany by Great Britain due to the signing of the Munich Agreement by Daladier and Neville Chamberlain on September 30, 1938 to avoid war.
The Sudetenland was an area in western Czechoslovakia (as it was then) which was German speaking and had some sympathy with German nationalism
he declared interest in it and the Italian dictator Mussolini proposed a conference with Germany Britain France and Italy called the munich conference. here Britain and France agreed that the Germans could have the sudetan part of Czechoslovakia.
A hero. The Germans thought they finally had a leader who stood up to the English and French victors of WW 1 who had been humiliating them and bled them dry under the peace treaty of Versailles that had been forced on Germany. The same went by the way for the unification with Austria and the occupation of the Sudetenland and later, the conquest of Poland. You have to remember that Austria itself had asked for this unification in 1919 but that had been refused by the Allies; and the unification by Hitler in '38 had broad support in Austria as well as in Germany. Sudetenland and large pieces of Poland had been part of Germany until 1918 and simply been 'given away' by the Allies to the newly established States of Poland and Czechoslowakia, who then proceeded to chase tens of thousands of Germans out of their homes and jobs.
Munich Conference
The Sudetenland
Austria and the Sudetenland Austria wasn't given to Germany, Germany conquered it
Czechoslovakia, which was invaded by Germany with permission from Britain and France given at the Munich Conference. You ask which country was a "victim" of Britain's and France's willingness to appease Hitler, but you are not understanding the basic facts. The Sudetenland wanted to be part of Germany because they were Germans and they were separated from Germany after World War 1. So they were glad to get reconnected to Germany. Hitler used the issue of Sudetenland against Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia (including Sudetenland) were not part of Germany before WW1, but part of Austria-Hungary. When Austria-Hungary was broken-up as result of WW1, then Hitler decided to seize German-speaking Austria and then create a crisis w/ Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was seen as the victim of appeasement. By loosing the Sudetenland, they lost valuable territory rich in lignite, coal. So there was a victim - Czechoslavakia.

Sudetenland was giving to Germany whiles Austria was conquered by Germany
The policy of appeasement was used by the French and British to appease Hitler in the hopes that Hitler would leave their nations alone. The "appeasement camp" thought that if Hitler was given what he wanted he would be satisfied. They did not understand Hitler and his agendas. They Brits and French were made to look like fools when they found out Hitler had already taken the the Sudetenland at the time of the Munich Conference and signing of the pact that allowed Hitler to have the Sudetenland within Czechoslovakia. The policy appeasement is as foolish as giving your lunch to the school bully when he will only come back the next day.
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.
