The Munich Conference was in 1938 when Russia, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy met to decide how to cope with Germany’s aggression in Czechoslovakia. These League of Nations members decided to enforce a treaty with Germany where they would allow Germany to eliminate the boundaries of the Versailles Treaty. It was also agreed that the government of Poland would be protected and a boundary was set over which Germany would not be allowed to cross without risking full scale war. The policy of Appeasement was born out of the Munich Treaty.
Germany's land seizure in Czechoslovakia was allowed to stand uncontested. Czechoslovakia was not given a say in this decision. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Britain at that time, is best known for his role in piecing together the treaty and buying "peace in our time".
