- Believing that if we gave in to Hitler's reasonable demands he would stop when they were fulfilled.
- Britain gained time to build up her armed forces
- But so did Hitler :-(
- Hitler decided that Britain and France were afraid of him so would not stop him whatever he did.
- Historians have suggested that in this way appeasement ENCOURAGED Hitler to start WWII
- Russia decided that Britain and France were never going to stand up to Hitler, and that war with Germany was inevitable.
- Led to the signing of the Nazi Soviet Pact
- British people realised they had been duped and decided that war was inevitable.
