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 actThe 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.
