In the Munich Agreement it was decided that Nazi Germany will be permitted to annex parts of Czechoslovakia where Germans were living. This new territory was named Sudetenland. This agreement was favorable for Germany because it expanded Germany’s borders without any wars. On the other hand, people living on the territory were cut off from their own country and had to live and abide a new government.
French and British governments felt the failed at diplomacy because they underestimated Hitler’s desire for territorial expansion. Not only that they couldn’t prevent the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but they responded to this aggressive move with just a weak diplomatic protest. Chamberlain (the Prime Minister of Britain) led an appeasement policy, which meant that war was inevitable, and Britain and France were two steps back in this war. The Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression pact, also known as Ribbentrop-Molotov pact, on the surface was an alliance between the Nazis and the Soviets for non-aggression. The secret part of this pact explicitly divided Europe between the two powers. This pact was another sign that Britain & France couldn’t persuade the powerful Soviets on their side.
