Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The 1938 Munich conference was held to address Hitler's desire for the annexation of the Sudetenland, an area in western Czechoslovakia inhabited by a German-speaking minority. In order to appease Hitler and avoid war, the United Kingdom and France agreed to allow Germany to annex the Sudetenland. This effectively partitioned Czechoslovakia, making it weaker and more vulnerable to further German aggression.
