Bell Work 2-12 What is appeasement? Give me a situation in which you appeased somebody in your life. Name the details of the Treaty of Versailles

The Axis! Japan, Italy, and Germany All agree to following: To fight communists Not interfere with each others imperialist expansion
Hitler- Anschluss Hitler wants to annex (gain) Austria. The Austrian Chancellor says NO. What do you think Hitler (Shicklegruber) does?
Hitler- Sudetenland Hitler wants a piece of Czechoslovakia. Asks France and Britain, they’re pacifists. Hitler promises NO war. Takes the rest of Czechoslovakia anyway. Big Deal?
Nazi-Soviet Pact Hitler & Stalin strike a deal NOT to fight. They feared each other. Hitler feared: Communism 2 front war. Stalin feared: Fascism Western powers
Less than a month after the pact… Germany invades Poland, a neutral country. France/England, declare war. WWII begins
