The world had to deal with a lot of turmoil during World War II. Before the bulk of the fighting began, European leaders tried to appease Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler since no one actually wanted another war. Because of this, the Munich Agreement was signed on this date in 1938. It stated that a part of Czechoslovakia, called Sudetenland, would be turned over to Germany. Hitler wanted it because the people there were ethnically German. The leaders from several European countries met to make the agreement. Oddly enough, Czechoslovakia’s leader was not one of them.
二次大戰期間,全世界得處理許多混亂的事情。在主要戰役爆發之前,歐洲領袖試圖安撫德國納粹和希特勒,因為沒有人真的希望再掀起另一場大戰。正因如此,慕尼黑協定遂於1938年的今天簽署,它明令捷克斯洛伐克的蘇台德地區必須割讓給德國。希特勒要此區的原因是該區的人民在種族上屬日耳曼人。許多歐洲國家的領袖會晤並制定此協定。但奇怪的是,捷克斯洛伐克的領袖卻未出席該會議。
