7. Aggression and Appeasement

• The Japanese, the Germans (Hitler), and the Italians (Mussolini) pursued a policy of expansionism before World War II to gain natural resources.

Aggression led to the start of World War II.

• (1941) the US places embargo on scrap iron, steel, and oil exports to Japan

• When some European leaders agreed to Hitler’s demands concerning Czechoslovakia in 1938, they were supporting a policy of appeasement.

8. “It took the Big Four just five hours and twenty-five minutes here in Munich today to dispel the clouds of war and come to an agreement over the partition of Czechoslovakia. There is to be no European war, after all. There is to be peace, and the price of that peace is, roughly, the ceding by Czechoslovakia of the Sudeten territory to Herr Hitler’s Germany. The German Führer gets what he wanted, only he has to wait a little longer for it. Not much longer though — only ten days. . . .” William Shirer, recording of CBS radio report from Prague, September 29, 1938

Speaker A: “What was actually happening on the battlefield was all secret then, but I thought that the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere would be of crucial importance to backward races.”

Speaker C: “The Munich Pact saved Czechoslovakia from destruction and Europe from Armageddon.”
Speaker D: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost shall be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. . . . We shall never surrender.”

The clearest example of the policy of appeasement is in the statement made by Speaker
