Give the people what they want

The Munich Conference has brought unity, cooperation, and peace to Europe's main powers: France, Britain, Italy, and Germany. 

Germany's occupation of Czechoslovakia (CZ) unites citizens of German heritage, considering that many Germans live in CZ. Instead of having two separate nations, Germany and CZ can unite to form a more economically and politically powerful nation. Therefore, for Germany's sake, the Munich Conference is beneficial and will finally bring people who share a common language and ethnicity.

More broadly, the Munich Conference establishes international cooperation among these four countries. Since the terms of the conference indicate no aggression or hostility, citizens of each of these countries can feel assured that war will not take place. This circumstance will increase levels of national confidence in each of these countries, promoting positive nationalism and potential economic success. By appeasing Hitler's demands, Germany has no reason to push further, so they are not a threat. Although the terms of the conference allow Germany to rise above the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, hostility seems absent, so Germany's success is entirely for its own improvement, not necessarily to threaten other countries.

Again, the Munich Conference seems to assure the prevention of war, which is essentially the most important goal after all. As the paranoia of war exits the minds of citizens, countries can become more efficient in terms of labor and politics, leading a content and more stable worldwide society.
