| In 1938 Russia, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy met in
Munich to decide what action, if any, to take concerning Germany’s aggression in
Czechoslovakia. This conference came to be known as the Munich Conference. While there,
the allies decided to enact a policy of appeasement, wherein they would allow Germany to
erase the boundaries of the Versailles Treaty without taking military action. However, it
was also agreed that the sovereignty of Poland would be protected, and thus a line was
drawn that Germany would not be allowed to cross without risking full scale war. |
