Victory in Europe (V-E day) May 8, 1945 Victory over Japan (V-J day) September 2, 1945 Appeasement Appeasement is the act of ignoring an enemy’s actions in hopes of avoiding further conflict . In 1938, Hitler demanded that Czechoslovakia cede the Sudetenland to Germany. He claimed that the German population living there was being mistreated. The British and French prime ministers agreed to Hitler’s demands without consulting Czechoslovakian leaders, in the hopes that this would avoid a war in Europe. (Munich Agreement) Hitler continues his Imperialism quest!! Appeasement • Germany made an agreement at the end of WWI not to attack Russia. • Hitler goes against the agreement and tries to gain more land from Russia. American Isolationism The U.S. was in a major depression throughout the 1930s and was mostly concerned with its own problems. Conflict in Europe seemed distant, and the U.S. tried to remain neutral. This policy weakened the European democracies. The Nye Committee held congressional hearings in the mid-1930s, concluding that the U.S. was tricked into entering WWI by arms manufacturers and Allied propaganda. Allied Powers 1. Britain 2.
