Ted,
Yeah, that was a brilliant move. What happened to Britain once they declared war, punk? If you knew your history, you would know they started losing badly. Why is that, o brilliant one?
Let me enlighten you with then:
Czechoslovakia had an alliance with France - and also with Soviet Union. Than means, if attacked, terms of the alliance mean that France was obligated to go to war. Soviet Union would have as well, if France and Britain went to war.
Germany was not that strong, Czechoslovakia was not that weak. So instead of facing Germany when it was relatively weak, Munich agreement allowed Germany to gain strength.
Let me try math on you. If Germany was 100% (in terms of strength) and Czechoslovakia was 20%, the strength of Germany increased by 20% and strength of the allies declined by 20%.
They would have died whether he appeased or not.
Like I said, millions would have been saved. The destruction Germany inflicted and the human toll was function of how strong Germany was at its peak. If Germany was not allowed to get as powerful, German armies would not have advanced as far, and would have been defeated a lot quicker.
