Terrified by intelligence reports that exaggerated the reach of the German Luftwaffe, Chamberlain agreed to hand over 3 million Sudeten Germans, even though doing so was more likely to embolden Hitler than placate him. But while Munich was a sellout that showed Hitler how reluctant Britain was to return to war, it was not the cause of World War II any more than the breakdown in talks with Iran could be said to be the cause of Tehran's intensification...
