Question

Reasons for appeasement:

Why did the allies seek appeasement?

Answer 1

The Allies sought appeasement because Neville Chamberlain naively hoped that peace with the Nazis could be achieved (surprise, surprise, they would later be proved wrong).

Answer 2

Appeasement was popular for several reasons. Chamberlain -and the British people- were desperate to avoid the slaughter of another world war. Britain was overstretched policing its empire and could not afford major rearmament.
