What country was a victim of great Britain and France's policy of appeasement?
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.
What was the Czech Republic's name before they became the Czech Republic?
The Czech Republic was part of Czechoslovakia before that country split, forming the Czech Repuiblic and Slovakia.
What was the velvet revolution?
The Velvet Revolution was the peaceful overthrow of the Communist government in Czechoslovakia in 1989, as a part of the wider collapse of the Communist regimes in Europe during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It eventually let to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993; however, the term "Velvet Revolution" (or, "Gentle Revolution", as it is known in Slovakia) specifically refers to the original overthrow of the Communist government, not the subsequent split of the country.

Which was the biggest threat to European peace in the 1930s anschluss or the sudetenland?
The Anschluss was a threat to European peace as it undermined the Treaty of Versailles and increased Hitler's power and the resources available at his disposal. Germany and Austria-Hungary also surrounded the west of Czechoslovakia, which would eventually lead to him invaded in March 1939. The fact that Britain and France did nothing undermined their power and the power of appeasement. The Sudetenland Crisis threatened European peace as Germany gained the resources of the Sudetenland- most notably the factories and armaments on the west border. It was the first time that war had been threatened in Europe, and was in some way responsible for the later Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact as Russia had been left out of the Munich Conference despite the fact they had allied with Czechoslovakia, and felt betrayed. It led to the collapse of Czechoslovakia as they other nationalities started pushing for independence- Poland gained part of Czechoslovia in October 1938 and Hungary in November 1938, followed by the Slovaks in March 1939. Therefore, I personally believe the Sudetenland Crisis was a bigger threat to peace, however the Anschluss led to Hitler being able to target the Sudetenland, as he was able to surround it.
