Question

Why is the munich conference and appeasement a turning point in preventing war in europe ?

Answer 1

Munich conference resulted in an agreement signed between Germany and Britain, France and Italy.

Explanation:

There was an agreement that was signed between Britain, France, Italy and Germany which ceded Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Germany. It was signed in an attempt to avoid war by Germany but he went against the terms of the agreement and began his invasions.

Nile Chamberlin was the British Prime minister and he convinced Hitler not to invade Sudetenland and Hitler convinced him that it was fair to occupy Sudetenland which was in the border of France and Britain and hence Chamberlin asked France to join him and pressured Czechoslovakia to yield in to Hitler’s demand.  

Following this meet with Hitler, Italian Prime Minister Mussolini, British and French minister gathered together to discuss Hitler’s stresses and finally agreed to cede Sudetenland to Germany in order to prevent additional territory being occupied by Hitter.

Hitler did not stand in favor of the agreement and invaded Poland. This embarrassed the British prime minister and he lost support in the parliament and soon he was replaced by the strongest prime minister of Britain Winston Churchill.
