⚠️ Why Munich Failed

Hitler lied: "Last territorial demand" — he took rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939.

Czechoslovakia destroyed: Without Sudetenland, the country was indefensible.

USSR alienated: Stalin saw Britain & France couldn't be trusted → Nazi-Soviet Pact.

Hitler strengthened: Gained Czech industry, Skoda arms works, strategic position.
