Germany: 'Zur Historischen Begegnung' ('The Historic Encounter'). Postcard celebrating the signing of the Munich agreement, 29 September, 1938. Left to right: Chamberlain, Daladier, Mussolini, Hitler, Berlin 1938

The Munich Agreement was a settlement permitting Nazi Germany's annexation of portions of Czechoslovakia along the country's borders mainly inhabited by German speakers, for which a new territorial designation 'Sudetenland' was coined.

The agreement was negotiated at a conference held in Munich, Germany, among the major powers of Europe, excluding the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. Today, it is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement towards Nazi Germany.
