It’s been almost 87 years since the ill-fated Munich Agreement, when the UK and France, ostensible allies and guarantors of the independence of the sovereign country Czechoslovakia, perfidiously abrogated that sacred responsibility.
Nazi Germany demanded the Sudetenland, an integral part of Czechoslovakia and its defensive system on the border with Germany, be ceded to Germany. It was surrendered to the Nazis by the UK and France, without the consent of the Czechs, in the pursuit of so-called ‘Peace for our Time’, which British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared had been achieved. The policy of appeasement proved very short-lived and it was not long before Nazi Germany and its allies conquered all of Czechoslovakia and then proceeded to attack Poland and start World War II.
