Which weakness of appeasement policy was exposed by the Munich Agreement?

Correct answer: Giving concessions to an aggressive state did not guarantee stopping further aggression

The Munich Agreement of 1938 is commonly used to explain a major weakness of appeasement. Britain and France accepted Germany’s annexation of the Sudetenland in the hope that satisfying Hitler’s demand would preserve peace. However, the concession did not end Nazi expansion. Germany later occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia and then invaded Poland, helping bring about the Second World War.

The correct choice is A: giving concessions to an aggressive state did not guarantee that further aggression would stop. Appeasement could postpone immediate conflict, but it failed when the aggressor interpreted concessions as weakness or encouragement. Hitler did not abandon expansionism, the United Nations did not mediate the 1938 agreement, and Europe did not remain permanently peaceful. These facts eliminate choices B, C, and D.
