Why do appeasement never work?

Because if it work it's not appeasement.

That's sum my view up on people coming with a one liner about Neville Chamberlain. They're people who don't get the point, Chamberlain after he had feed the German tiger, travelled home and made his rifle ready. Yes it's not fun to be the Czech, but small countries, who have a bad relationship with their bigger neighbours always risk being sold out, when it's political convenient.

Small countries are always just pawns for bigger ones, and for they should always do their best to find some kind agreement with their strongher neighbours before their protectors sells them out. We learned that in 1864, when we overestimated how much political capital UK and Russia was willing to sacrifise for us, especially when we behaved like complete idiots.

From what I've read the Czechs could have easily fought off the Germans with Anglo-French support in 1938. But that was admittedly a while ago.

I don't buy it, 20% of Czechoslovakia's population, who lived in the fortified areas was German, Czechoslovakia had no friends among its neigbours and the Germans outmatched them 4:1. It would just had been Poland a year earlier.
