3) Why were the Western powers unwilling to stop Hitler when he began to violate the
Treaty of Versailles?
The answer to this answer is quite simple, actually. The Western powers could not stop Hitler
when he began to violate the Treaty of Versailles, and take up armaments, because many of the
countries had done the same. Italy and France had made advances in the military. Even Britain,
made a Naval pact with Hitler. Britain saw that Hitlers navy was getting extremely powerful.
Originally, Britains navy was world renowned, so pride and jealousy got in the way of Britains
true intentions. Italy and France were also in a race to take up arms, even against Germany and
everyone else. They all wanted to defend from each other and from other countries, so the right
to bear arms was in their minds. Even though a treaty was made, it was impossible to stop the
military, as the need for an army is something that is ground in every government.

Kennan How does Kennan criticize appeasement at Munich? Kennan claims that the lost of
the Czechoslovak state during the appeasement was not necessary. Appeasement towards
Germany had hopes that Hitler would want to stop his rampage on Europe if he was appeased to
enough. He claims that since the Czech defenses were extremely strong and capable, it was not
worth risking all the bloodshed that would follow if they had put up a fight.
Taylor The appeasers were men with real problems who sought appeasement of Germany to
solve these problems. They recognized that an independent Germany had to be included in
Germany, or else war would break loose. Military intervention at the time would have been
extremely hard. No country was ready for a war of that magnitude, especially after the Versailles
Treaty. The appeasers had many problems to face with. Keep in mind, advisers of certain
countries had been extremely worried at the time. The threat of a World War that could kill
millions was imminent. The appeasers did not particularly want to make other countries angry. It
could set off a chain reaction that would begin an entire war. As we know, the war still happened,
and it still killed millions, but at the time, appeasing seemed like the safest bet.
