Germany was trying to dominate, so was Japan.
The UN was meant to avoid this kind of behavior.
Now, the US rejects the usefulness of the UN (even if during the Cold War era, the SU was constantly vetoing all initiatives, the UN still existed).
About appeasement, I'm hearing this:
Chamberlain was much more afraid of the Communism expansion than of Hitler's. He saw in Hitler a wall against communism. Daladier was much more concerned about Hitler, but was drawn by Chamberlain to sign the Munich agreement.
And now, twisting history, americans make us believe that only France was appeasing at the time.
I'm fed up.
BTW, we have been appeasing all the time, since WW2, you americans, are appeasing in the North Korean issue. I don't think that appeasing is bad; in fact, I'm sure it's the way for our civilization to fare forward.
