Appeasement
...that Germany would feel satisfied with its gains, and not seek any more territorial expansion.
The appeasement policy would not have worked. It would have worked if Hitler was okay with letting other people control the country, but like all humans they wanted to do what they wanted to do. The appeasement policy went wrong when Britain tried to stop the Germany by paying it to not take over any more countries. Germany had believed that it was there time to rule the world and they were using the appeasement policy to strengthen its army. So it is like a bully (Germany) is being paid to no beat up a child (Britain and other countries).
