The British and the French following an appeasement policy thought that if they satisfied Hitler's political ambitions, they could avoid war. So, they allowed Hitler to annex the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia, with mostly German inhabitants). Soon Hitler occupied the all Czechoslovakia in 1939. (Before that Austria was annexed too in the Anschluss, in 1938). There was nobody who opposed Hitler's ambitions. And he knew taht. However, after Hitler occupied the whole of Czechoslovakia, Britain and France replaced the appeasement policy by guarantees to Romania, Greece and Poland. Consequently, when Hitler invaded Poland (1 Sept), Britain and France declared war on Germany (3 Sept). (Unfortunalely that was just a declaration, but no armies were sent to hel the Polish - this period was called the 'phoney war'. )
