More like "Germany plz stop occupying Czechoslovakia".

Much of Europe celebrated the Munich Agreement, as they considered it a way to prevent a major war on the continent. Adolf Hitler announced that it was his last territorial claim in Northern Europe. Today, the Munich Agreement is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement, and the term has become "a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states."

"Ah, darts. We didn't appease the discourse hard enough. You can keep Czechoslovakia if you pinky-promise not to invade any more countries! If you do, we'll be forced, to, uh, you'll see, and you better believe we'll do it!" (Narrator: They didn't, in fact, do anything when Germany invaded Poland).

It was a whole bunch of that.

  • Remilitarization of the Rhineland.

  • Anschluß of Austria.

  • The Sudetenland.

  • The actual invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Nazi Germany really pulled "whatcha gonna do about this, bitch?" and got away with it for a surprisingly long time.

Appeasement doesn't work. It did not work out for European powers, it did not work for Stalin, and more recently it did not work with Crimea/Ukraine.

Yet every time a portion of the population will wholeheartedly support appeasement policies out of what I can only assume to be a mix of abhorrent cowardice and a pathological compulsion to submit to authority. I can only imagine the kind of fucked-up childhood these people lived, to make them so afraid of fighting back even when they're the ones holding the bigger stick.

Bad comparison. Ireland wasn’t an invading, occupying power. They were trying to reclaim their country from the British empire…and they didn’t even get all of it. I smell a troll.
