What do you understand about the “Policy of Appeasement”? To what extent was it responsible for the outbreak of the World War – II?
Britain and France used appeasement as a way to avoid war with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930s. This approach helped start World War II by letting Hitler ask for more and more.

- Britain and France used appeasement as a way to avoid war with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930s. This approach helped start World War II by letting Hitler ask for more and more. It showed weakness because it didn’t stop his early attacks. People thought Hitler just wanted some land, but this gave him time to build up his army and get ready for a bigger fight. Appeasement didn’t stop the war; instead, it made Hitler think he could take over more places.
- Some say appeasement wasn’t the only thing that caused World War II. They point to what British people wanted, Hitler’s plans to expand, and weak armies. After World War I British people were tired of war so appeasement might have been what they wanted. Hitler’s main goal was to get more living space for Germans, which appeasement couldn’t have stopped.
- Appeasement wasn’t a good idea, but it didn’t cause World War II by itself. Hitler wanted to take over more land, and the world was in a tough spot. But appeasement did give Hitler chances to do more and made it harder for democracies to stand up to him. It’s a tricky subject without easy answers.

The Spanish Civil War (1936 – 1939) was no ordinary civil war.
Ideological conflict: Spain became an ideological battleground where fascism (made up of Nationalists led by Franco) clashed with democracy and leftist ideals (backing Republicans. The fascist successes strengthened the hand of Hitler and Mussolini, while democracies felt an urgent sense to rein them in.
Foreign intervention: Germany and Italy provided troops, weapons, airpower to the Nationalists The Republicans were aided by the Soviet Union in response. It was a sign of the Olympus 1s that would play out in WWII. Testing Ground for
Tactics: Tanks, aircraft and new mechanized warfare for both sides. The war became a testing arena for doctrines soon to be used again in deadly fashion against civilians during WWII.
Microcosm of Global Conflict: The Spanish Civil War, attracted people from around the world travelled to Spain and fought for one side or another while foreign fascists entered on behalf of Franco Agaisnt them), with these fighting columns termed in conjuction known as International Brigades This international dimension reflected the kinds of global alliances that would characterize WWII.
The Spanish Civil War had also provided a stark warning of the dangers that fascism could pose, and so too its potential for fuelling an even wider conflict in Europe. A “dress rehearsal” in the sense that it displayed all of the ideological tensions, military capabilities and international alliances that would soon plunge humanity into a far bloodier conflict.
