Munich Pact - MSN Encarta |
 | | The Munich Pact secured the acceptance by Britain and France of the demand by Adolf Hitler that the German-speaking Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia, be ceded to Germany, which it bordered. |
 | | The pact, signed by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain for Britain, Premier Édouard Daladier for France, Adolf Hitler for Germany, and Benito Mussolini for Italy, merely determined the conditions under which the cession should be made. |
 | | The Munich Pact, however, came to be a symbol of the dangers of appeasement. |
