1. German Aggression Sparks Beginning of World War II

4. Sudetenland was an area on the western border of Czechoslovakia which had a population of more than 3 million German speaking people. Hitler claimed the Czechs were abusing these people and began massing troops on the border. Next he met with British Prime minister Neville Chamberlain and France’s Premier Edouard Daladier and explained that Czechoslovakia would be his last demand. In an effort to avoid war both men quickly agreed to hand over this portion of land. But just as Winston Churchill warned, Hitler’s campaign did not end here, two nights later German troops moved into the rest of Czechoslovakia.
