The Sudetenland was created by the Treaty of Versailles - Germans lived there and wanted to be part of Germany
Britain, France and the USSR supported Czechoslovakia in the case of war which now looked likely
So Chamberlain (British Prime Minister) met with Hitler in Munich and gave him the Sudetenland so that he wouldn't invade the rest of Czechoslovakia and create peace
Hitler promised not to invade anywhere else
Chamberlain was made a hero as people thought he had prevented war with Germany
However, Hitler went back on his promise and said that the Germans in Czechoslovakia were being mistreated
He used this as a reason to invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia
