The Munich Agreement, signed on September 29-30, 1938, was an agreement between Germany, France, Britain, and Italy that allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia with a predominantly German-speaking population. This was done in an attempt to appease Adolf Hitler and prevent a larger European war. The agreement is often seen as a symbol of the failed policy of appeasement.

Yeah, this looks a lot like Sept 1938. trump is about to become the modern Chamberlain, more than he already has been.

Germany had started a low-intensity undeclared war on Czechoslovakia on 17 September 1938. In reaction, Britain and France on 20 September formally requested Czechoslovakia cede the Sudetenland territory to Germany. This was followed by Polish and Hungarian territorial demands brought on 21 and 22 September, respectively. Meanwhile, German forces conquered parts of the Cheb District and Jeseník District, where battles included use of German artillery, Czechoslovak tanks, and armored vehicles. Lightly armed German infantry briefly overran other border counties before being repelled. Poland grouped its army units near its common border with Czechoslovakia and conducted an unsuccessful probing offensive on 23 September.[3] Hungary moved its troops towards the border with Czechoslovakia, without attacking. The Soviet Union announced its willingness to come to Czechoslovakia's assistance, provided the Red Army would be able to cross Polish and Romanian territory; both countries refused.[4]
