ABBY --- a series of questions about 1938 Munich



Munich settlement
 1938 Munich settlement
Munich agreement was the bargain, which was signed by the prime minister of four countries (Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy respectively) in the conference of Munich on 29th of September 1938. At the expense of what Czechoslovakia’s personal interest was sacrificed and the Sudeten German territory was ceded to the Germany, which in order to keep the peace.

appeasement
Appeasement is the policy of ceding some territories to tyrannical privilege in order to keep peace. For example, 
Neville Chamberlain
   Great British and French foreign policy       during 1930s, which reach a                  compromise about concessions of
    Sudeten German territory with    Germany.

 Neville chamberlain
Neville chamberlain was prime minister in Great Britain at the period of 1937 and 1940. He contributed to the 1938 Munich settlement and appeasement.

consequence of appeasement

Neville chamberlain claimed that ‘ Peace for our time’ when he returned from Munich. However, after Hitler completely controlled Slovakia in March 1939, he started to aggress Poland in September 1939. At that time, Great Britain started to have a war with Germany. As a consequence, the choice of chamberlain that to keep peace at the expenses of the Czechoslovakia interest was not right. Munich agreement not only unable to avoid the war and bring the peacetime, but accelerate the World War II as well.
the role of Duke of windsor  at the period of  the World War II
Duke of Windsor was the king in Britain from 20th Jan 1936 to 11th  Dec. during the World War II, he settled in France as British Military Mission in September 1939. In 1940, he was installed as governor of the Bahamas, which due to the fact that he was accused of being a Nazi sympathizer. The reason of being accused is that Hitler was managed to reinstate Windsor as king and then he want duke of Windsor could help him to build a fascist Britain. This means Windsor maybe would be pro-Nazi and became a Centre of intrigue.
