  23. Some leaders thought appeasing Hitler would make him keep his promise to not expand further, some did not believe it would work. Churchill (anti-appeasement) said of the other leaders... “[They] had to choose between war and dishonour. They chose dishonour, they will get war.” See the map on p. 149. Would have agreed or disagreed with appeasement in 1938? How would you support your decision?

  24. Address Your Country Using the map on p. 149, and the information we have learned about appeasement, write a paragraph that the leader of one of the countries could have read to their country, explaining why their decision to support/ not support appeasement was the right one.
