    In 1938 Germany wanted to Annex a part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland, mainly filled with ethnic Germans. They (the ethnic Germans had their own political party in Czechoslovakia and advocated for more autonomy all the way up to German rule). The UK and France negotiated an annexation without Czechoslovak consent with the terms being Germany would not unilaterally Annex any more European territory.

    Germany would go on to Annex Czechia under a protectorate and give the Slovaks “freedom” months prior to invading Poland.
