Appeasement
From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min
Appeasement is the policy of giving in to the demands of a hostile or aggressive power in an attempt to keep the peace.[1] The connotation is negative; it is implied that the appeaser not only rewards the aggressor's bad behavior but ultimately fails to preserve the peace anyway, as the aggressor invariably demands more and more each time and is never satisfied.
In History[edit]
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler with the Munich Pact, declaring "Peace for our time" in 1938. Within a year, World War II had broken out.
