Who did Europe try to appease hitler

History

On this day in 1938, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, French Premier Edouard Daladier, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sign the Munich Pact, which seals the fate of Czechoslovakia, virtually handing it over to Germany in the name of peace. Upon return to Britain, Chamberlain would declare that the meeting had achieved “peace in our time.”

Although the agreement was to give into Hitler’s hands only the Sudentenland, that part of Czechoslovakia where 3 million ethnic Germans lived, it also handed over to the Nazi war machine 66 percent of Czechoslovakia’s coal, 70 percent of its iron and steel, and 70 percent of its electrical power. It also left the Czech nation open to complete domination by Germany. In short, the Munich Pact sacrificed the autonomy of Czechoslovakia on the altar of short-term peace-very short term. The terrorized Czech government was eventually forced to surrender the western provinces of Bohemia and Moravia (which became a protectorate of Germany) and finally Slovakia and the Carpathian Ukraine. In each of these partitioned regions, Germany set up puppet, pro-Nazi regimes that served the military and political ends of Adolf Hitler. By the time of the invasion of Poland in September 1939, the nation called “Czechoslovakia” no longer existed.

It was Neville Chamberlain who would be best remembered as the champion of the Munich Pact, having met privately with Hitler at Berchtesgaden, the dictator’s mountaintop retreat, before the Munich conference. Chamberlain, convinced that Hitler’s territorial demands were not unreasonable (and that Hitler was a “gentleman”), persuaded the French to join him in pressuring Czechoslovakia to submit to the Fuhrer’s demands. Upon Hitler’s invasion of Poland a year later, Chamberlain was put in the embarrassing situation of announcing that a “state of war” existed between Germany and Britain. By the time Hitler occupied Norway and Denmark, Chamberlain was finished as a credible leader. “Depart, I say, and let us have done with you!” one member of Parliament said to him, quoting Oliver Cromwell. Winston Churchill would succeed him as prime minister soon afterwards.

What was Darwin's place in society and how did this help him to come up with the ideas about natural selection and evolution?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace. A visit to the Galapagos Islands in 1835 helped Darwin formulate his ideas on natural selection. He found several species of finch adapted to different environmental niches. The finches also differed in beak shape, food source, and how food was captured. Natural selection is the mechanism suggested by Darwin for evolution. Because resources are limited in nature, organisms with heritable characteristics that favor survival and reproduction leave more offspring than their peers, causing the traits to become more common over generations.

10 pts.<br><br> How did imperialism help give countries a strategic advantage over other countries?
Flauer [41]
Imperialism, although it is bad for the conquered countries and regions, is good for the countries that practice it, and even for those countries conquered to some extent (in terms of technology, development), and obtaining extra resources for conquering peoples. While the imperialist country obtains abundant net resources from other regions, expands its political power and makes its power and its world presence larger, the conquered country can obtain technology and life forms that help it from the conquering country. All the imperialist countries have enjoyed a better quality of life for their population and greater social and technological development, given the advantages of having many more lands, resources and people under their power. But finally, when conquered people fight for their independence, this power becomes to decrease and finally its lost.
