The Policy of Appeasement.

For those who studied history, I think this may be quite familiar.
For those who didn't, the following paragraph kind of sums it all up.

The policy of appeasement was about how the British and French (the Allies) kept giving in to Hitler's demands.
The Allies appeased Hitler by giving him what he wanted.
They thought that he would be satisfied and contented once they gave in, and Hitler would not create further trouble.
But the exact opposite happened.

You see,
Human nature causes us to be greedy, and along with this greed and a boosted morale, Hitler decided to make more demands, as he knew that the Allies would continue to give in.

Appeasement led Hitler to believe that the Allies would not oppose his expansionist policies.

So basically to sum it all up, appeasement was a BIG GIGANTIC mistake.
PLUS it sucks cause it doesn't work. (well, most of the time)

People study History so that we would not repeat the mistakes that our ancestors have made.
We read about the past so that we can learn from their mistakes.
I, for one, as an ex-History student, ought to have learnt something from this mistake.
But I don't know why, appeasing just seems to be so much more of a better choice.
I think this explains the measly C5 I got for combined Humanes
-.-

Mdm Sia should totally read my blog and be proud that i still remember.
Shows that I've been paying attention during her classes! :D
you know, i would think you would be a little more appreciative.
let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.
