When was the Munich Agreement?

• A. September 1938
• B. August 1938
• C. 1939
• D. 1937

Answer: (A)

The date in question is September 1938, because the Munich Agreement was signed in Munich on 30 September 1938 after leaders met to decide how to handle Hitler’s demand to annex the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. This act aimed to appease Germany and avoid war, but it allowed the Sudetenland to be ceded to Germany and is seen as a pivotal moment before the outbreak of World War II. The other dates don’t fit: August 1938 is when pressure and talks were intensifying, 1939 is when war began with the invasion of Poland, and 1937 is too early for this agreement.
