How did appeasement lead up to World War II?

It allowed the German army access to the low countries of Belgium and Luxemburg, leading the French to declare war on Germany for its aggression.

It allowed Germany to expand its territory unchecked until it became a direct threat, making war unavoidable.

It created a false sense of security among Americans that they could avoid war in Europe by giving Germany territory that it demanded.

It led to greater Soviet resolve to oppose German expansion and, ultimately, to war, despite being meant to satisfy Germany’s desire for more territory.

Answer:

It allowed Germany to expand its territory unchecked until it became a direct threat, making war unavoidable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Appeasement encouraged Hitler to be more aggressive, with each victory giving him confidence and power. With more land, Germany became better defended, with more soldiers, workers, raw materials, weapons and industries. This then shows the first way that appeasement caused World War Two.

Hope this helped ;)
