Answer: Appeasement

Step-by-step explanation:

The Allies at first employed the strategy of "appeasement", hoping Hitler's territorial ambitions would be satiated at the expense of some of its weaker neighboring countries (Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland). After Hitler successfully annexed Austria and the Sudetenland he still started war by invading Poland, rendering appeasement useless. The policy was pushed mainly by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
