• Appeasement was a foreign policy adopted by France and Great Britain during the interwar period.
• It was also a feature of the League of Nations, which attempted to prevent conflicts through negotiation.
• The main goal of the policy was that by appeasing aggressive countries such as Germany and Italy, they could prevent another World War from occurring.
• The appeasers would follow what the country wanted and attempt negotiating.
• Many people were very much against a war after the Great War that had occurred not too long ago, so the democratic leaders of France and Great Britain had to try and maintain peace to stay favorable to voters.
