Appeasement

What is Appeasement?
Appeasment is a way of solving somethings but it doesnt
always work as people get gready and want more.
Appeasemnt is where you give somebody somethink to aviod
fighting but they are not allowed any more but in some cases
people want more and they take it this is when somebody
should step in and stop them from getting what they want.
The oldest situation of appeasemt is Hitler and Chamberlain
as Hitler took something and Chamberlain said take any more
and we will declare war on you, he took more but when he
got to Poland he took it a step to far and Britain declared war
with him and that was the out break of world war 2.
Background to appeasement

• Hitler want to take over Czechoslovakia because he wanted

to be able to defend his borders.
• Hitler also wanted to take over Czechoslovakia because the
population of Germany was growing and Hitler wanted
more Land.
Reasons for Appeasement.

There are many reasons for which people use Appeasement on

a small scale or a large scale. One reason that people use
Appeasement is to aviod war and not to fight. They aviod war
by giving who ever what they want and telling them take any
more we will have to fight, but in some cases people take
more and it then happens again they say take and more we
will fight and this cycle keeps on going. However people
sometimes try taking more and suffer the consiquences of
fighting.
Reasons against Appeasement.

• Gave Germany time to strengthen their armed forces.

• If Britain and France would not intervene over
Czechosovakia, unlikely they would take any action to
defend other threatened countries.
• Naive policy - Hitler had made clear his aims to conquer
Eastern Europe.
• Hitler became more aggressive as he felt Britain would not
take action.
The different veiws on Appeasment

People have different views on Appeasement, some people

think it is a bad idea and other think it is a good idea. People
who think it was a good idea because they thought the idea
was good at the time. People who thought it was a bad idea
because they didn't want the out break of world war 2 and as
Chamberlain experienced world war one he didn't want
another.
