Western border region of Czechoslovakia where about 3 million German-speaking people lived; a second target of Hitler's lebensraum
1 answer
Hitler requested the return of the Sudetenland, which was heavily German speaking, at the Munich Conference.
The Czechs were against it not because they feared the loss of the territory - it was German speaking and not loyal to Czechoslovakia hence was a liability, but because it was mountainous and their fortifications were there. Once Germany controlled the Sudetenland it was a clear shot to Prague.

Hitler believed that there was a vast majority of Sudeten Germans in the Sudeten Land, and that by taking over it he was only complying with Wilson's idea of self-determination. He also thought that if in a later war he were to be attacked by the Russians that it would act as a first line of defence. Also by taking over Czechoslovakia he would be that one step closer to Poland and his policy of expanding East.

Sudetenland was very important to Hitler as it contained roughly 3 million German speaking people. Since, Hitler believed in Anschluss ( reuniting all German speaking), this is why Sudetenland very important to him.
Furthermore, Sudetenland is very ( and I mean very) important for Czechoslovakia as it contained their industries. So, losing Sudetenland means losing their industries as well as their defense.

Hitler claimed that Sudetenland rightfully belonged to Germany because there were a lot of German people living there. Sudetenland was once a part of Austria; after World War I, it became a part of the new country of Czechoslovakia (which eventually split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993).

Spelling! Sudetenland. The Sudetenland was part of Germany until 1806 and of the German Confederation between 1815 and 1866. After WWI and under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles the Sudetenland (some 11,000 square miles) became part of Czechoslovakia. As this was a German-speaking area, Hitler naturally claimed it for the Third Reich. The German annexation of the Sudetenland was what was agreed to at Munich in 1938. What Chamberlain and the Allies should have noticed was that the Sudetenland included nearly all Czechoslovakia's defensive works on the German border. Once it was occupied, the taking of the remainder of the country was a mere formality.
