The appeasement of Czechoslovakia occurred in the late 1930s when European powers, particularly Britain and France, sought to avoid conflict with Nazi Germany by allowing its annexation of the Sudetenland in 1938. This decision was formalized at the Munich Agreement, where leaders like British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Premier Édouard Daladier conceded to Adolf Hitler's demands without the presence of Czechoslovak representatives. The policy of appeasement ultimately failed to prevent World War II, as it emboldened Hitler to pursue further territorial expansion.
