What are two reasons used to explain why appeasement was logical at that time?

Appeasement was seen as a logical strategy during the pre-World War II era for two main reasons. First, many believed that the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles had unjustly humiliated Germany, and satisfying some of its grievances might prevent further conflict. Second, the memory of the devastation of World War I led many leaders to prioritize peace over confrontation, hoping that by conceding to aggressive demands, they could maintain stability and avoid another devastating war.
