Appeasement in a foreign policy context
is a diplomatic policy of making concessions to an aggressive power in order to
avoid conflict. Examples include Britain
and France giving the Sudetenland to Germany in 1938, Chamberlain’s promise to
give Germany all the areas where more than 50 per cent of the population was Germany,
in 1938 and Austrian Chancellor Kurt's compliance to release
imprisoned Austrian Germans and allow them to participate in the government, also
in 1938
