Munich Agreement

Pact signed on 29 September 1938 by the leaders of the UK (Neville Chamberlain), France (Edouard Daladier), Germany (Adolf Hitler), and Italy (Benito Mussolini), under which Czechoslovakia was compelled to surrender its Sudeten‐German districts (the Sudeten) to Germany. Chamberlain claimed it would guarantee ‘peace in our time’, but it did not prevent Hitler from seizing the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939.

Most districts were not given the option of a plebiscite under the agreement. After World War II the Sudeten was returned to Czechoslovakia, and over 2.5 million German‐speaking people were expelled from the country. See also United Kingdom: history 1914–45, the Munich Agreement.
