dok 2: why did the policy of appeasement (giving hitler what he wanted to avoid war) ultimately fail to prevent world war two?
a it showed weakness and encouraged hitler to continue aggressive actions
b other countries did not have enough weapons to stop him
c the united states forced countries to stop using appeasement

Explanation:

To determine why the policy of appeasement failed, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Appeasement (like giving Hitler territory) signaled that Western powers were weak, so Hitler felt emboldened to take more aggressive actions (e.g., invading Poland), leading to war.
• Option b: The failure of appeasement was not about other countries' weaponry; Hitler's aggression was enabled by the perception of weakness from appeasement, not a lack of weapons.
• Option c: The US was not forcing countries to stop appeasement; initially, the US was neutral, and appeasement was a policy of European powers like Britain and France.

Answer:

a. It showed weakness and encouraged Hitler to continue aggressive actions
