because they fail
Giving in to an aggressor would just give them the mentality of, "Well if they just let me have this, then I can just take more and more of whatever I want." This is the same thing that happened with Hitler, we gave him control of a country that he broke a treaty to obtain, making him promise that he wouldn't do it again. This didn't happen, and so started WWII.
Answer this question… German leaders would not settle for controlling only parts of the territories they wanted.
Germany immediately broke agreements to give up expansion in exchange for land
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.
