In 1938, Austria joines Germany, which was forbidden in the Treaty of Versailles. However, Great Britain and France don´t react and Mussolini gives his approval. In the Munich Agreement, France, Great Britain and Italy allow Germany the annexation of the Sudetenland, a German dominated part of Czechoslovakia. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, thinks, this saved "Peace for our Time", but in reality, this just nourishes Hitler´s imperialism. A few months later, Germany annexes the Slovakian part of Czechoslovakia.
