In 1938 British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, along with representatives from France and Italy, signed the Munich Pact with German leader Adolf Hitler. The pact acceded to Hitler’s demands for cession of the Sudetenland, a German-speaking region of Czechoslovakia, to Germany. Chamberlain announced afterward that there would be “peace in our time,” but the agreement averted war only temporarily. For many western nations the agreement became a symbol of appeasement.
