The Munich Conference was an international meeting that began on 29th September 1938, to settle
the dispute between Germany and Czechoslovakia over the Sudetenland. The Munich Conference was organised by
Mussolini of Italy and Chamberlain of Britain. However, there was controversy over the attendees: Hitler from
Germany, Chamberlain from Britain, Daladier from France and Mussolini from Italy. Czechoslovakia was not invited,
despite the Sudetenland being part of its territory. At the Munich Conference, it was decided the Sudetenland was to be
transferred from Czechoslovakia to Germany. Germany gained the Sudetenland, along with 29,000 square kilometres
of territory and a population of 3.6 million. Without French protection, Czechoslovakia was forced to accept the break-
up of its country. After the Munich Agreement, Chamberlain and Hitler signed a document promising that Britain and
Germany would promote peace in Europe.
