Episode 1 - The Munich Agreement.
The Munich Agreement was an agreement concluded at Munich on 30 September 1938, by Nazi Germany, the United Kingdom, the French Third Republic, and the Kingdom of Italy. It provided "cession to Germany of the Sudeten German territory" of Czechoslovakia. Most of Europe celebrated the agreement, because it prevented the war threatened by Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi Germany's annexation of the Sudetenland, a region of western Czechoslovakia inhabited by more than 3 million people, mainly German speakers. Hitler announced it was his last territorial claim in Europe, and the choice seemed to be between war and appeasement.
Unfortunately, war was not prevented, and shame ensued as Britain neglected to support its ally, Czechoslovakia, bringing shame.
The ramifications of the appeasement of the Nazi's is discussed and compared to modern geopolitical landscape.
