Appeasement
Appeasement is a policy of accepting the imposed conditions of an aggressor in lieu of armed resistance, usually at the sacrifice of principles. Usually it means giving into demands of an aggressor in order to avoid war. Since
World War II, the term has gained a negative connotation in the British government, in politics and in general, of weakness, cowardice and self-deception. A famous example is
Neville Chamberlain's
foreign policy during the inter-war period 1919-1939 when he used a
policy of appeasement in order to prevent (in vain) another general European war.
