Answer: <u>Late 19th century</u>

Explanation: Mark Twain called the late 19th century the "Gilded Age." By this, he meant that the period was glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath. In the popular view, the<u> late 19th century</u> was a period of greed and guile: of rapacious Robber Barons, unscrupulous speculators, and corporate buccaneers, of shady business practices, scandal-plagued politics, and vulgar display.

KatRina [158]

Germany took Rhineland and sent German military forces into Rhineland, a demilitarized region. Britain and France were desperate to avoid war. World leaders decided to appease the aggressor rather than risk a war. Germany was appeased after taking Sudetenland and promised to stop there. Germany violated the Munich agreement and then took all of Czechoslovakia.
