Most likely. People often forget that before the invasion of Poland in 1939 Germany had already annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia. So even attacks on neighbouring nations had to escalate quite a bit before any action was taken by the UK and France.
- vkazanov 6y agoHm. But action were taken, no? Both power mentioned were happy to let Germany eat both austria and Czechoslovakia: see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement The idea was to let Germany fight Soviets in the east, while British and french were hiding behind that fortification line.
- st1x7 6y agoI meant actual action. The Munich agreement was just a meeting that allowed Germany to keep things up without making any concessions in return. From the wikipedia article that you linked: > Today, the Munich Agreement is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement, and the term has become "a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states".
