The Appeasement of Hitler
In the 1930’s, Hitler was appeased.
An appeasement is basically “giving a
bully what he wants or what he is asking
for. Hitler introduced his built up army
in the Spanish civil war. France and
Britain ignored the breaches of the
Versailles Treaty. Hitler also broke
the treaty when he invaded Australia
and declared Anschluss. France and
Britain still did nothing. even though
it can be argued, Britain and
Frances’ actions were considered
appeasement.

Cash and carry act
The cash and carry act took place in
1937. The US was not allowed to
supply any weapons for other countries
that were involved in the war. “Cash
and carry” was the name of the
amendment in which stated that other
countries could buy guns from
America. The British ended up not
winning the war cause they had no
weapons. To solve the problem the
“lending lease” act was passed. This
made it so that they could buy now and
pay later.
