What did the Munich Agreement promise regarding German expansion?

• A. Germany would immediately invade more land
• B. Britain would join the Axis
• C. The war would end after Poland
• D. Germany would not conquer any more land

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is what the Munich Agreement promised about German expansion. The agreement was an appeasement move in 1938 that allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in exchange for Hitler’s pledge not to seek further territory. That pledge—Germany would not conquer any more land—was the key promise. In reality, the promise did not hold, as Germany soon took the rest of Czechoslovakia and then invaded Poland, leading to World War II. The other statements don’t fit because the agreement did not call for immediate invasions elsewhere, it did not involve Britain joining the Axis, and it did not promise the war would end after Poland.
