The correct choice is the first: "Give Hitler what he wanted to avoid war."
Explanation: Appeasement was a policy of making concessions to an aggressive power (in this case Nazi Germany) in the hope of avoiding conflict. The classic example is the 1938 Munich Agreement, when Britain and France allowed Germany to take the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. It was more than “asking nicely” — it meant ceding territory or backing down in diplomacy — and it was the opposite of taking a firm stand to stop further aggression.
