- If Britain and France had not adopted a policy of appeasement, would Adolf Hitler have been as successful as he was in overrunning Europe?
pleease help me with this
Oh, my! This question has been debated for 70 years -- and will probably be debated for many more years.
What do you think?
i have no idea
comeon ms.sue pleeease help me
i'm stuck on this
Hindsight is wonderful!
If France and England hadn't appeased Hitler, he probably wouldn't have been as successful in overrunning Europe. They could have at least slowed him down.
On the other hand, France and England hadn't completly recovered from the deadly and devastating effects of World War I. They desperately wanted to avoid another war. They didn't have a crystal ball to foretell the horrors that Germany would bring to Europe in the next few years.
But who knows whether they could have stopped Hitler and the ensuing war. I doubt it. I think he was hell-bent on conquering Europe -- one way or another.
:D i think so too
oh yea..and THANKS A LOT

ok, but i was saying thanks for sharing your opinion
France and Britain would have been at stake if they did not adopt the appeasement.
To answer this question, let's break it down into several parts:
1. What is the policy of appeasement?
Appeasement refers to the diplomatic strategy pursued by Britain and France in the 1930s towards Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. It involved making concessions and compromises to avoid escalating conflicts and maintain peace.
2. What factors contributed to Hitler's success in overrunning Europe?
Several factors contributed to Hitler's success in overrunning Europe:
- Rearmament: Hitler's rapid rearmament of Germany's military allowed him to build a formidable force.
- Strategic planning: Hitler's military strategies, such as the Blitzkrieg, allowed for swift and decisive victories.
- Weaknesses of opponents: Some European countries, like Poland and Czechoslovakia, were ill-prepared for war and lacked strong defenses.
- Lack of unified opposition: Initial lack of cooperation and coordination among potential opponents allowed Hitler to conquer nations separately.
3. Would Hitler have been successful if Britain and France had not pursued appeasement?
It is challenging to provide a definitive answer since we cannot predict alternative historical scenarios with certainty. However, not pursuing appeasement could have potentially influenced the outcome in several ways:
- Deterrent effect: A firm stance against Hitler's aggression might have deterred him from taking further action.
- Early opposition: Confronting Hitler earlier, especially during Germany's initial rearmament, could have weakened his position.
- Stronger alliances: By opposing Hitler early on, Britain and France might have forged stronger alliances with other European nations, making it harder for Hitler to overrun Europe.
In conclusion, while it is impossible to say with certainty, it is plausible that not pursuing a policy of appeasement could have potentially limited Hitler's success in overrunning Europe by providing a more unified opposition and deterring his aggressive actions earlier.
