    Czechoslovakia was the next state targeted by Hitler after Austria was taken over in March 1938.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    After successfully taking over Austria in March 1938, Hitler turned his attention towards Czechoslovakia as his next target. This is evident from the historical events that unfolded during that time period. Hitler's aggressive expansionist policies aimed at annexing territories with German-speaking populations, and Czechoslovakia was one such target. This eventually led to the Munich Agreement in September 1938, where Czechoslovakia was forced to cede territory to Germany. Therefore, the statement that Czechoslovakia was the next state targeted by Hitler after Austria is true.

    The policy of Appeasement involved 'revising' parts of the Treaty of Versailles.  However, in the end it was seen by Hilter as sign of weakness of the League of Nations.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The policy of Appeasement was a strategy adopted by Britain and France in the 1930s to avoid war with Germany. It involved making concessions to Hitler, including revising parts of the Treaty of Versailles that imposed harsh conditions on Germany after World War I. However, Hitler saw this policy as a sign of weakness on the part of the League of Nations, which was supposed to enforce the treaty. This ultimately emboldened Hitler and contributed to the outbreak of World War II. Therefore, the statement that the policy of Appeasement was seen by Hitler as a sign of weakness of the League of Nations is true.

    The Munich Pact was an agreement signed by Britain, France, and Germany, agreeing to Hitler's terms regarding the annexation of Sudetenland to Germany. The Soviet Union and Czechoslovak governments were not invited to attend the pact meeting.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Munich Pact was indeed an agreement signed by Britain, France, and Germany, accepting Hitler's demands for the annexation of Sudetenland. The pact was signed without the involvement of the Soviet Union and Czechoslovak governments, which indicates that they were not invited to attend the meeting where the agreement was made. This agreement is a significant event in history as it demonstrated the appeasement policy of the Western powers towards Hitler's expansionist ambitions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Slovakia, then Czech, and next Lithuania were quick to fall after the signing of the Munich Pact.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the Munich Pact, signed in 1938, allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia. Slovakia, which had a large German minority, quickly declared independence and became a puppet state of Germany. The remaining Czech lands were also occupied by Germany. Lithuania, although not directly affected by the Munich Pact, was under pressure from Germany and eventually fell to Soviet occupation in 1940. Therefore, all three countries mentioned in the statement were indeed quick to fall after the signing of the Munich Pact.

    Poland became the next target for Hitler, and this is when France and Britain changed their policy of appeasement.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During World War II, Poland became the next target for Hitler as part of his expansionist plans. This event marked a significant turning point for France and Britain, who had previously pursued a policy of appeasement towards Hitler's aggression. The invasion of Poland prompted France and Britain to abandon appeasement and take a more assertive stance against Nazi Germany. Therefore, the statement that Poland becoming the next target for Hitler led to a change in France and Britain's policy of appeasement is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In March 1939, Britain and France made a promise to protect Poland in case it was invaded. As a part of this promise, French and British ships were deployed defensively in the North Sea. This indicates that the statement is true.
