France and Britain initially pursued a policy of appeasement with Hitler, hoping concessions would satisfy his territorial ambitions and avoid war. At the Munich Conference in 1938, they agreed Czechoslovakia should cede the Sudetenland region to Germany, believing this would appease Hitler. However, one year later Hitler was not appeased and invaded Poland, causing Britain and France to declare war on Germany.

Appeasement
Appeasement failed for several reasons:
1) It showed Hitler that Britain and France were unwilling to stop German aggression, encouraging further expansion.
2) It weakened Czechoslovakia and emboldened Germany, Italy, and other countries to make territorial demands.
3) While gaining Britain time to rearm, it also gave Germany time to rearm, making the eventual war more destructive.
Appeasement in action
The document outlines the key events of appeasement in Europe from 1935-1939 that ultimately led to World War 2. It describes how Hitler annexed the Saar region in 1935, remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, annexed Austria in 1938, and was granted the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia at the Munich Agreement in 1938. Despite these violations, Britain and France continued a policy of appeasement. In early 1939, Germany occupied the remainder of Czechoslovakia before signing a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and invading Poland on September 1st, 1939, marking the start of World War 2.
Appeasement
Appeasement was a policy of giving in to aggressive demands of dictators like Hitler to avoid war. It was championed by Prime Minister Chamberlain but opposed by Churchill who argued it would fail to stop further aggression. Arguments for appeasement included that Britain was not prepared for war and wanted to buy time to rearm, while arguments against included that it emboldened dictators and abandoned allies like Czechoslovakia. Appeasement failed to stop German rearmament and Hitler's annexation of territories like Austria, the Sudetenland and eventually invasion of Poland.
World History - Appeasement
The document summarizes the events leading up to World War II, including the aggressive actions taken by Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s which violated treaties and seized territory. It also discusses the policy of appeasement adopted by Western democracies, which involved giving in to aggressors' demands in order to maintain peace. However, this failed to deter Hitler, who continued his military expansionism. The Western powers eventually recognized appeasement did not work and pledged to protect Poland, leading to Germany's invasion of Poland and the start of World War II.
WW II: Part 1 Hitler Aggression vs. British Appeasement
This presentation summarizes the actions of Europe's leaders throughout the 1930s that lead up to Hitler's demand for possession of Danzig, Poland in 1939.
Appeasement
The document provides historical context about the rise of dictators like Hitler in Germany in the 1930s and the policy of appeasement taken by British Prime Minister Chamberlain to deal with Hitler's aggression. It notes that Chamberlain suggested appeasement would be the best way to deal with Hitler, which was seen in the Munich Pact that allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. The document poses the task of using the information to judge whether appeasement was the most effective response to Hitler's aggression in the 1930s.
Fascist Aggression Leading Up to WWII
Italy expanded its control over Africa in the 1930s while Germany increasingly violated the Treaty of Versailles by remilitarizing the Rhineland and annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. Japan also grew more aggressive during this time, invading Manchuria in 1931 and seeking to drive Western powers out of Asia as part of its goal to dominate the region and gain access to resources and living space. The League of Nations condemned these acts of aggression but was unable to stop them due to lacking enforcement powers.
Seeds of the War - Appeasement
The document discusses the events leading up to World War II, including Japanese imperialism in Asia starting in the late 19th century, the weakness of the League of Nations in responding to aggression by Germany, Italy and Japan in the 1930s, the policy of appeasement by European powers which emboldened Hitler, and the 1937 Nanking Massacre committed by Japanese forces in China in which hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed.

WWII: Part 4 The Great Struggle
The document summarizes key events in World War 2 between the Allied and Axis powers. It describes the major players on each side and the two main theaters of the war in Europe and the Pacific. It outlines major battles such as Midway, D-Day, and advances by the Soviets and Allies against Germany. It then discusses the Manhattan Project and the US decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender and the end of WWII.
Lesson 9
The document discusses four main theories for why international peace collapsed in 1939 leading to World War 2: 1) failure of the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations, 2) Hitler's aggressive foreign policy, 3) the policy of appeasement, and 4) an investigation into which one is most responsible. It then goes on to discuss the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and how it may have led to WWII 20 years later through imposing harsh terms on Germany after WWI.
Appeasement
The document discusses the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. It outlines the arguments both for and against appeasement, as well as key events like the annexation of Austria, the Munich Agreement over the Sudetenland, and Germany's invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. While appeasement aimed to avoid war by allowing some of Hitler's territorial demands, it failed to deter German aggression in the long run and showed that Hitler's promises could not be trusted. By giving in to Hitler at Munich, the allies also betrayed Czechoslovakia but may have bought some time to rearm for the looming war.
Section 2 notes
The document outlines a lesson plan that includes a timeline of key events leading up to World War 2, such as Hitler becoming Chancellor of Germany in 1933 and invading Poland in 1939. The timeline details Germany's expansion through invading neighboring countries like Austria and Czechoslovakia in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. It also notes diplomatic agreements like the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact that enabled Germany's invasion of Poland.
Germany 1933 1939 - Alex Rakochy
Hitler's foreign policy from 1933-1939 focused on three goals: destroying the Treaty of Versailles, uniting German speakers, and gaining Lebensraum. He withdrew Germany from the League of Nations in 1933 and began secret rearmament. Through threats and appeasement, he annexed the Rhineland, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. In 1939, he invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France to declare war, starting World War II in Europe.

This ppt concentrates on start of the World War II. It is based on IGCSE syllabus, specifically International Relations and Hitler.
Czechoslovakia
The document summarizes events in Czechoslovakia in 1938 as German leader Hitler demanded the Sudetenland region, which had a large ethnic German population. British Prime Minister Chamberlain met with Hitler hoping to avoid war through appeasement and agreed to Germany's annexation of the territory at the Munich Agreement. However, in March 1939 Hitler took control of all remaining parts of Czechoslovakia, demonstrating that appeasement had failed as Hitler could not be trusted to keep his word.
Chapter 4 Part Two (Hitler's expansionist policy)
Hitler took advantage of Britain and France's policy of appeasement to aggressively expand German territory. He first remilitarized the Rhineland, then supported Franco in the Spanish Civil War to test Germany's military. When Britain and France did nothing in response, Hitler grew bolder and annexed Austria to unite German-speaking peoples. After annexing the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia at Munich, Hitler took the rest of the country. Confident that the Western allies would continue to appease him, Hitler then invaded Poland, prompting Britain and France's declaration of war and the start of World War II.
Back to School Night 2014
This document discusses Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement in dealing with Hitler at the 1938 Munich Conference. It provides Chamberlain's speech to Parliament explaining his reasons for favoring appeasement, hoping it would allow a peaceful solution and avoid war over Czechoslovakia. However, Churchill and others warned that appeasement would not stop German aggression and would lose opportunities to limit Nazi power. Historians later argued the Munich Agreement was unnecessary as Czech defenses were strong and German generals may have removed Hitler if he pressed forward.
Appeasement
The Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany after WWI, including war guilt, reparations, disarmament, and territorial losses. Germany resented these terms. The League of Nations failed to prevent German and Italian expansionism in the 1930s, including Germany remilitarizing the Rhineland, annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, and Italy invading Ethiopia. Seeking to avoid war, Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement by allowing these expansions. However, when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France were obligated by treaty to declare war, beginning WWII.
AS HISTORY REVISION - AGE OF EXTREMISM - 3.3 HITLER'S FOREIGN POLICY
Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the aims of restoring German pride after World War 1, overturning the Treaty of Versailles, and expanding German territory. He used a mixture of threats and conciliation, taking calculated risks to isolate targets and advance his goals. Through the 1930s, he achieved several victories by this approach, including non-aggression pacts, remilitarization of the Rhineland, and annexing Austria, as the UK and France pursued appeasement due to their economic weaknesses and fears of war or communism. This emboldened Hitler and allowed him to break the Treaty of Versailles without consequence.
The Sudetenland Crisis
Hitler wanted to annex the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, which had a large ethnic German population. Despite initially promising he had no designs on Czechoslovakia, Hitler increased his demands over time. In September 1938, Britain and France pressured Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland to Germany at the Munich Agreement in an attempt to appease Hitler and avoid war. However, this set a precedent that emboldened Hitler, and in March 1939 he took control of the rest of Czechoslovakia, damaging trust in Britain and France and increasing tensions in Europe.
Role of appeasement
This document discusses the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It explains that European leaders were reluctant to face another major war after WWI. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain pursued a policy of appeasement, believing it would prevent another disaster like WWI. However, Hitler continued expanding German territory by annexing Austria and demanding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. The Munich Agreement allowed Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland, but failed to achieve "peace in our time" as Chamberlain claimed, as Hitler later occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia, paving the way for WWII.

The causes of world war ii
The document outlines 5 main reasons for the start of World War 2: the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, appeasement policies, the rise of Hitler, and Hitler's 8 steps to war. It discusses how the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles angered Germans and justified Hitler's actions. The League of Nations failed to prevent German rearmament or aggression. Appeasement encouraged Hitler by allowing him to remilitarize the Rhineland and annex Austria and Czechoslovakia. Hitler's stated goal was to undo the Treaty of Versailles and expand German territory. His invasion of Poland in 1939 after making a pact with the USSR led Britain and France to declare war, starting World War 2.
The Outbreak of the Cold War.
The Cold War began in 1945-1948 as tensions emerged between the capitalist United States and communist Soviet Union after their wartime alliance against Germany. The two superpowers had differing goals for postwar Europe and disagreed over issues discussed at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, such as reparations, borders, and spheres of influence. While both sides bear some responsibility, the Soviet Union's immense losses in World War 2 and desire for security contributed to rising distrust between Joseph Stalin and American leaders.
Eventsupto wwii
The document summarizes the key events leading up to World War 2, including the Treaty of Versailles which humiliated Germany after WWI and exacerbated economic issues during the Great Depression, allowing the rise of fascism under Hitler who began rapidly militarizing Germany in violation of the Treaty, annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia through intimidation and the failed policy of appeasement by Britain and France. Germany then invaded Poland in 1939 leading Britain and France to declare war, drawing many other countries into the global conflict.
Wwii appeasement
Western democracies initially responded to aggression by dictators in the 1930s with a policy of appeasement in hopes of avoiding war. However, continuing German, Italian and Japanese expansion tested this approach. The Spanish Civil War foreshadowed WWII, and Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 despite agreements led Britain and France to declare war, beginning the global conflict.

DIPLOMACY AND FOREIGN POLICY
Diplomacy has been practiced since the formation of early city-states and is a defining element of statehood. Originally, diplomats were only sent for specific negotiations and were of high rank. Modern diplomacy originated in the city-states of northern Italy in the early Renaissance. There are four main functions of diplomacy: representing state interests, gathering information, expanding political/economic/cultural ties, and facilitating international law. Diplomacy is essential for conducting negotiations between nations and maintaining peaceful international relations.
World War I Power Point
The document summarizes the key causes and events of World War I. The main causes included militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism in Europe. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led to an escalating series of events where countries honored their alliances, leading Germany and the Allied powers into war. New weapons like machine guns, poison gas, tanks, airplanes and trench warfare led to military stalemate and over 8.5 million deaths. The Treaty of Versailles after the war assigned guilt to Germany and imposed harsh reparations.
Diplomacy defined

The goal of diplomacy is to further a state's interests through establishing independence, security, and maximizing advantage without using force. There are many types of diplomacy, including citizen, cultural, economic, and public diplomacy, each with a distinct purpose in international relations.

Life in the trenches
Life in the trenches of World War I was miserable and dangerous. Soldiers faced constant threats of death from sniper fire or artillery shells. Trenches were infested with rats and lice that spread disease. Men endured boredom, filthy conditions with little sleep between standing guard or repairing trenches. Even simple tasks like patrolling No Man's Land could result in death from enemy fire or hand-to-hand combat with opposing soldiers. Through it all, the smells of decaying bodies and waste made conditions unbearable.
Russian Revolution
The document provides an overview of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution. It describes how Russia was ruled as an autocratic empire under the Tsar, with poor living conditions for most citizens.

Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks then seized power in the October Revolution, establishing Soviet rule and withdrawing from WWI. A long civil war ensued as the Bolsheviks consolidated power and faced opposition from pro-Tsarist White forces. Lenin imposed harsh policies to win the war but his health declined and he died in 1924, leaving a power struggle over his successor.
Causes of WWI
Militarism, nationalism, imperialism, and alliances all contributed to the outbreak of WWI. European countries engaged in an arms race in the early 20th century and developed strong beliefs in their military capabilities. Tensions rose as countries competed for colonial territories. By 1914, Europe was divided into two opposing alliance blocs led by the Triple Entente and Triple Alliance, increasing the likelihood that a conflict between two countries could spark a continental war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian nationalists seeking independence from Austria-Hungary provided the spark that ignited the powder keg of military buildup, nationalism, and interlocking alliances leading to the start of WWI.

Editor's Notes
- 1936 – Hitler’s forces march into the Rheinland . France and Britain protest the action, but after the devastation of WWI did not want to do anything that might start another war. 1938 – Austria’s Nazi party gains control of the government, the next day Hitler occupies Austria.Hitler now wants Czechoslovakia where three million ethnic Germans live.
- Hitler made additional demands and the Czechs mobilized. The Soviet Union publicly declared that it would aid the Czechs in event of a war. War seemed imminent.
- It was now clear to the British and French that the policy of appeasement had failed to prevent German aggression. They prepared for war. In preparation for war, Hitler wished to neutralize the Soviet Union and to prevent Germany from being involved in a two-front war.In August 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty. A secret provision of the treaty divided Eastern Europe into two spheres of influence. Hitler announced that he wanted to protect the German minorities in Danzig and adjoining Polish territory. In response, both Britain and France indicated their willingness to protect Poland.
