Question

Which statement best describes historians' critique of Great Britain's policy of appeasement? (1 point)
• Appeasement was too harsh.
• Appeasement was ineffective.
• Appeasement further enforced the Treaty of Versailles.
• Appeasement was not a permanent solution.

Answer 1

Appeasement was ineffective.

Historians argue that appeasement failed to check Nazi aggression (it emboldened Hitler, undermined deterrence, and only delayed—rather than prevented—war), so it did not achieve its aims.
