Appeasement

Appeasement was the tactic used by the British Government when dealing with Hitler. In essence, Appeasement is the giving into demands of an aggressor in the hope that they will eventually be satisfied and content with what they have. This is the strategy Britain used with Hitler, ignored or satisfying demands for territory and rearmament in the hope that one day Hitler would simply stop.

It was a controversial policy and many have disagreed about whether Britain was right to follow such a policy or not. Appeasement had its critics and supporters. Appeasement is also closely associated with the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
