Which event best relates to the cartoon?
Munich Agreement
the passing of the Lend-Lease Act
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact
the Atlantic Charter
Answer explanation
The cartoon is referencing the continued appeasing of the Nazi's before the outbreak of WW2.
British P.M. Neville Chamberlain's diplomatic maneuvering in the annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland to Hitler in the Munich Agreement, is the most referenced example of this concept. Chamberlain famously referenced the agreement as "Peace for our time." Which would be proved incorrect soon after with the Nazi invasion of Poland.
