okay its collective security

because great Britain (Neville chamberlain -GB prime minister) supported appeasement as the answer for the Czechoslovakia problem and then they allowed Hitler to take the Sudetenland...Hitler promised to recognize Czechs new boundary lines but six months later he took over all of Czech

the french and British also supported the idea of appeasement when hitler wanted to take the Rhineland...which he later did.

hitler himself later admitted that if the french and great Britain had tried to stop him he probably would have backed down

like winston churchill said

if the france and GB had decided to support czech with their problem ,big things could have been avoided

basically find examples why appeasement was bad and then nsay instead collective security was a better idea!

hope this helps !!!!!!!!!!!!One blood demands one Reich. Never will the German nation have the moral right to enter into colonial politics until; at least, it includes its own sons within a single state....Oppressed territories are led back to the bosom of a common Reich, not by flaming protests, but by a mighty sword.The 1920s had a good outlook towards peace, but near the end of the decade and throughout the 1930s signs of war were forming. Leaders arose in countries that were unsatisfied with the results of World War I. Germany, Italy, and Japan took aggressive actions, and neither the League of Nations nor the democratic countries were stopping them. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain suggested the policy of appeasement towards Hitler to keep peace. Europe moved closer to war as these actions were made.

World War II had propelled with the lack of judgement by the League of Nations by continuous appeasing Hitler. September 3, 1939 was when the world plunged into World War II. The main reason for the cause of this war was the policy of appeasement. Before the war started, In October 1935, Mussolini ordered a massive invasion of Ethiopia. After Italy attacked, Haile Selassie, leader of Ethiopia, asked the League of Nations for help

In document 2, Haile Selassie, requested the League of Nations help stop the invasion and when the League's response was ineffective he said, " God and history will remember your judgement..It is us today. It will be you tomorrow." By now, Hitler came to power and was leading the Nazi's in the Third Reich. They had also became the largest political party. In March 1935, the Fuhrer (Hitler) announced that Germany would not obey the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty. The League of Nations only issued a mild warning for the rebuilding of Germany's armed forces, which forbade the treaty.

The League's failure to stop Germany from rearming convinced Hitler to take even greater risks. On March 7, Hitler disobeyed another agreement, which forbade him to invade Rhineland (a buffer zone between Germany and France). In document 3, the article states that, "Germany today cast off the last shackles fastened upon her by the Treaty of Versailles when Adolf Hitler, sent in his new battalions into the Rhineland's demilitarized zone." British urged appeasement, which was not an excellent idea. First, it strengthened Hitler's power and prestige within Germany. Catious generals who had urged restraint now agreed to follow him.

Second, the balance of power changed in Germany's favor. Finally, the weak response by France and Britain encouraged Hitler to speed up his military and territorial expansion. Hitler's growing strength also grew him allies which included Italy and Japan and the three aggressors became to be known as the axis powers. Instead of taking a stand against the aggressors, Britain and France repeatedly made concessions, hoping to keep peace. In addition, the horrors of World War I had created a deep desire to avoid war.

Britain and France made yet another poor choice to follow the policy of appeasement on Hitler's first target Austria. In March 1938, Hitler sent his
