During the 1930s, many politicians in both France and Britain came to see that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles had placed a limiting condition on Germany that were unfair. Hitler’s actions were seen as understandable and justifiable.
When Germany began to re-arm in 1934, many politicians felt that Germany had a right to re-arm to protect their country. It was also argued that a stronger Germany is, the more it would prevent the spread of Communism to the west.
In 1936, Hilter argued that because France had signed a new treaty with Russia, Germany was under threat from both countries and that it was extremely important to German security that troops were stationed in the Rhineland. France was not strong enough to fight Germany without British help and that time Britain was not prepared to go to war. Besides, many believed that since the Rhineland was a part of Germany, it was reasonable that German troops should be stationed at there.
In May 1937, Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minster of Britain. He believed that the Treaty of Versailles had treated Germany badly and that there were a lot of problems involved with the Treaty that need to be put right. He also felt that giving in to Hitler’s demands would cause another war.
This policy, adopted by Chamberlain’s government became to known as the policy of Appeasement.
only the last paragraph is helpful. you should write more about that. for example poland and hitler invading czechoslovakia...
