Munich Agreement

Before World War Two started there were major and minor series of events that lead to world into this deadest war. The Munich Agreement on september 29 1398 was the major that I would said to be the event that stretch the time period before the war started. Before the agreement happens, Germany wanted the control the land of Sudetenland owned by Czechoslovak. At first the British and the French said that this was unacceptable. However the these two countries didn't wanted to go to war, so Hitler (with the idea of Mussolini) organized a agreement in Munich. At the agreement the the USSR wasn't invited (this was a real slap in the face for Stalin who believes that the British didn't trust the USSR and Stalin) and Britain and France decides to gave Germany the Sudetenland with Hitler promising that he would not invade other countries any more. However within couples of mounts Hilter lied and invaded Poland and takes over Czechoslovakia which force the British and French to declare war on Germany starting World War Two. For this many people consider that the Munich was a failure, but after I had a discussion with Mr. Tim I strongly thinks that the Agreement stretch the beginning of the war and therefore we both consider that this agreement was not a complete failure.
