Appeasement
Created by anna jordan on September 11, 2009, 7:36 am. Report this group | FAQ
Appeasement is the term usually used to describe British policy towards Hitler in the period from 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, to the declaration of war over Poland in September 1939.
Appeasement is often regarded as a flawed, cowardly policy to avoid war, that resulted in Hitler growing in confidence sufficiently to invade Poland. However, it could also be argued that, given the economic crisis that followed the 1929 Wall Street Crash, the considerable financial commitments of Empire and the widespread antipathy towards the idea of another war, appeasement was actually a realistic policy designed to give England the time needed to build up its reserves sufficiently to challenge Hitler successfully.
