2. Hitler takes over Sudetenland
• Hitler had read the French and British leaders, in that
they would do anything to avoid the war. The
Sudetenland contained 3.5 million Germans who had
been cut off from the rest of Germany after the
creation of Czechoslovakia by the Treaty of Versailles.
Hitler felt he had a legitimate claim upon the area
because he saw it as German land. Also, Sudeten
Germans claimed they were victimized by the Czech
government and wanted home rule or union with
Germany.
3. • Britain was reluctant to involve herself because she had
inadequate armed forces to do so and had no treaty
obligations to Czechoslovakia.
• After the Bad Goldenberg and Munich conferences the four
main European powers (Britain, France Italy and Germany)
decided, without the presence of the Czech leader, to give the
Sudetenland to Hitler over a ten day period. Hitler was given
Sudetenland but on one condition that he would not conquer
any more lands.
• The Czechs had little alternative but to agree to Hitler's
demands, as they had few allies and a weak army. ( However
they did have an alliance with France which they failed to
honor) By the 1st October 1938 the Sudetenland had been
fully surrendered to Hitler.
