  2. 2What did Chamberlain want to achieve through appeasement?
    1. AChamberlain felt that Germany had good reason to be upset at many of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. What he wanted to do was to find out exactly what Hitler wanted and show him that reasonable claims could be met by negotiation instead of force, thus avoiding war.
    2. BHe wanted to allow Hitler to increase his strength and power.

    1. AIt was inhabited by more than 3 million German-speaking people.
    2. BCzechoslovakia was one of the strongest of the new states created by the treaties of 1919. It had strong, well-fortified frontiers especially in the west.
    3. CHe had family there.
    4. DThe Nazi Party in the Sudetenland had invited him to take it.
  5. 5Hitler encouraged [blank_start]Henlein[blank_end], the leader of the Nazis in the Sudetenland, to campaign for [blank_start]independence[blank_end] and riots broke out. Hitler promised Henlein that he could depend on the support of [blank_start]Germany[blank_end].
    On [blank_start]15[blank_end] September 1938, Chamberlain flew to Germany to find out what Hitler wanted and met him at Berchtesgaden. There Hitler told Chamberlain that he wanted all the German-speaking parts of the Sudetenland to join Germany, but only after [blank_start]plebiscites[blank_end]. Chamberlain then got the [blank_start]support[blank_end] of France of this and Britain and France forced President [blank_start]Benes[blank_end] of Czechoslovakia to accept the deal. Bene realised that he could not depend on the support of Britain and France if Hitler invaded; only [blank_start]Soviet[blank_end] Russia promised to help Czechoslovakia.
    Chamberlain then returned to Germany and, on [blank_start]22[blank_end] September, met Hitler at [blank_start]Godesberg[blank_end]. Hitler was taken by surprise; he did not expect Chamberlain to persuade France and Czechoslovakia to accept his demands. So he asked for more: the [blank_start]immediate[blank_end] occupation of the Sudetenland by Germany. There would be no plebiscites. Chamberlain, disappointed, returned to London and Britain prepared for war. In London, preparations were made for defence against [blank_start]air raids[blank_end]: trenches were dug, children were evacuated and gas masks given out. It was at this moment that Chamberlain received a note from Hitler inviting him to a conference of four powers to be held in [blank_start]Munich[blank_end].

  7. 7At Munich on [blank_start]30[blank_end] September it was agreed that the Sudetenland would become [blank_start]German[blank_end]. Britain and France guaranteed the remaining part of Czechoslovakia. The Czechs were [blank_start]forced[blank_end] to accept this. Chamberlain then met Hitler [blank_start]privately[blank_end] and Hitler agreed to a declaration that Britain and Germany would never go to war again and that [blank_start]consultation[blank_end] not war would solve all future [blank_start]disagreements[blank_end] between them.
