Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Great Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement towards Germany between 1935 and 1938 in an attempt to avoid another devastating war. They hoped that by allowing Germany to annex certain territories and expand its military, Hitler would be satisfied and peace could be maintained in Europe. This policy ultimately failed, as Hitler continued to make aggressive moves and eventually invaded Poland, leading to the outbreak of World War II.
