After occupying Austria in March 1938 Hitler made demands that part of Czechoslovakia that formerly was German territory and was taken away as a result of WWI, be returned to Germany or he would invade. In early September 1938 Prime Ministers of Britain and France met with Hitler and reached an agreement that Czechoslovakia cede the Sudetenland to Germany thus avoiding war. The Czechs reluctantly agreed and there was a meeting in Munich on September 29, 1938 where after hearing that Czechoslovakia had agreed Hitler added new demands that German troops be allowed to occupy the territory and again Hitler was appeased and we all know what happened from that point on.
