It just wound up giving the dictator time to build up his forces, take Austria, complete his takeover of Czechoslovakia, and invade Poland, then Hungary.

They gave Hitler nearly everything he wanted back in 1938, and he still wanted MORE.

Britain's Neville Chamberlain (before Churchill) and co-conspirator Italy helped make it worth less than a roll of toilet paper.
