The correct answer is:

• They were led to believe he wouldn't try to take any more territory in Europe.

During the Munich Conference in 1938, Britain and France adopted a policy of appeasement, largely due to the belief that satisfying Hitler's demands for the Sudetenland would prevent further territorial expansion and maintain peace in Europe. This was based on a desire to avoid another devastating conflict like World War I.
