<span>The Sudetenland contained 3.5 million Germans who had been cut off from the rest of Germany after the creation of Czechoslovakia by the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler felt he had a legitimate claim upon the area because he saw it as German land. Also, Sudeten Germans claimed they were victimized by the Czech government and wanted home rule or union with Germany. Britain was reluctant to involve herself because she had inadequate armed forces to do so and had no treaty obligations to Czechoslovakia. After the Bad Godesberg and Munich conferences the four main European powers (Britain, France, Italy and Germany) decided, without the presence of the Czech leader, to give the Sudetenland to Hitler over a ten day period. The Czechs had little alternative but to agree to Hitler's demands, as they had few allies and a weak army. (However they did have an alliance with France which they failed to honor) By the 1st of October 1938 the Sudetenland had been fully surrendered to Hitler.</span>
Answer:
b.) The Gulags were manual labor camps used to control oppression to Stalin and his regime.
Explanation:
The Gulag was the government agencies that establish the labor camps under Vladimir Lenin's rule. This system prospered and reached its peak during the rule of Joseph Stalin and led to many people being sent to these forced labor camps.
The acronym <u>GULAG stands for Glavnoe Upravlenie Lagerei</u>, which roughly translates to <u>Main Camp Administration</u>. This system of maintaining forced labor camps allows the reigning dictator to 'punish' anyone who dares to oppose his authority. Like the Nazi German's concentration camps, these Gulags were a place to<u> hold captive and make people work who oppose Stalin and his ideas of power.</u>
