Question

During the years leading up to World War II, which nations initially followed a policy of appeasement? Great Britain and France Germany, Italy, and Japan China and the Soviet Union members of the Pan-American Union

Answer 1

Answer:

Great Britain and France

Explanation:

The policy of appeasement is the name by which the conciliatory policy carried out by Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom before the Second World War has been historically known. Frightened by the horrors of the First World War, like the most brutal conflict known until 1914, not a few European politicians wished to maintain peace with Germany of the Third Reich, regardless of the demands of the aggressive Nazi regime, which meant to allow the constant violations of Hitler to the different international treaties, as it happened with the militarization of Rhineland, western German region where the Treaty of Versailles in 1918 had prohibited to Germany to establish military forces, arsenals or fortifications. When Hitler sent in 1936 troops from the Wehrmacht to station in the Rhineland, Britain refused to protest this breach of the Treaty of Versailles. Without British support, France also accepts without any complaint this violation of that treaty.
