The correct choice is the second: give Hitler what he wanted to avoid war.
Explanation: "Appeasement" was the 1930s policy of Britain (and France) of making concessions to Hitler—most famously the 1938 Munich Agreement that ceded the Sudetenland—hoping to satisfy his demands and prevent a wider war. It was not merely “asking nicely,” nor was it taking a stand to stop him. In practice it meant yielding territory or political concessions; it bought time for some but ultimately failed to prevent World War II and arguably encouraged further aggression.
