Answer:
The policy that was referred to as "appeasement" was a diplomatic strategy adopted by several national leaders in Europe during the 1930s in order to preserve peace at any cost. This policy was particularly aimed at meeting the demands of aggressive nations such as Nazi Germany, which sought to expand its territory and power through military conquest. The policy of appeasement involved making concessions to such aggressors in the hope of preventing conflict and maintaining peace. However, this policy ultimately failed as it only emboldened the aggressive nations, allowing them to gain more power and influence. The failure of the policy of appeasement ultimately led to the outbreak of World War II, which was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.
