Munich Agreement Reconsidered

France and Britain were right in giving Germany what it wanted in Sudetenland. It was a sacrifice that they were willing to make in order to stay on good terms. They knew that Germany had been willing to start a war over it so they gave it up freely rather than losing lives and resources to a useless conflict over a small piece of land. They saved Eastern Europe from being torn apart by simply giving Germany what they wanted. Their release of power and land demonstrated their confidence in their own strength. They knew that that Germany wouldn't be able to overthrow them so they didn't have to waste money on Sudetenland if Germany tried to take it by force. A good relationship between Germany, France, and Britain was much more important than the small territories that Germany was willing to fight for.
