The Munich Conference was definitely the right thing to do at this time. Before there was a lot of tension between Germany and the rest of Europe after the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was not allowed to have an Air-force or a large army, both of which they have now broken. The main goal of the conference was peace and I believe it has been achieved. Germany is now a lot more powerful and coming back to being equal to France and Britain. And for those who argue that it was unfair, why should Czechoslovakia be represented. They are such a small country. If they were represented, then shouldn't Romania and Lithuania be represented as well? They are so insignificant compared to Britain and France and Germany that they don't deserve representation.
And regarding the matter of the German takeover of the Czechs, it will make Czechoslovakia a stronger country being under German rule because Germany is a lot more stable relative to Czechoslovakia.
As for peace, Dorothy Thompson said that Peace can be established when there is equal terms between each sides, and now there is. The Treaty of Versailles put Germany a lot lower than the rest of Europe. However now, they are more at par with Europe. Also she said Peace is not the absence of war, but a positive condition. There is no war right now, and the condition is a lot more positive than it was before the Munich Conference, so therefore there is peace and the main goal of the conference has been reached.
