WW2 Aggression VS AppeasementPrepare for WAR!
European Appeasement 1938 Hitler announced his intentions to annex the Sudetenland –
the border areas of Czechoslovakia
Munich Pact – an agreement between Germany, France, and Britain to give the Sudetenland to Hitler in exchange for peace
Many European leaders were desperate to avoid another war and they felt that Hitler would stop his expansion after obtaining the Sudetenland
Neville Chamberlin – the British Prime Minister – announced that this agreement had secured a “peace for our time”
It was a short lived peace, WWII started 11 months later...Poland, France, and the rest of Europe fell.
Soviet Appeasement

Germany’s eastern border was now secure from a Soviet attack
Germany attacked USSR anyway
How Should the US Respond?
Lend Lease-Act1941 Act to Further Promote the Defense of the United States
A program under which the United States supplied Great Britain, Free France, the Republic of China and later the USSR and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and August 1945
Signed into law on March 11, 1941, a year and a half after the outbreak of World War II in Europe in September 1939 and nine months before the U.S. entered the war in December 1941
