The policy of appeasement refers to Hitler saying at the Munich conference that he would not invade any more of Europe after Czechoslovakia. It failed, obviously.
'Appeasement'.
Munich Pact and the 1938 Crisis in Czechoslovakia. There are several others that I can;t think of off the top of my head.
The policy of appeasement was used by the French and British to appease Hitler in the hopes that Hitler would leave their nations alone. The "appeasement camp" thought that if Hitler was given what he wanted he would be satisfied. They did not understand Hitler and his agendas. They Brits and French were made to look like fools when they found out Hitler had already taken the the Sudetenland at the time of the Munich Conference and signing of the pact that allowed Hitler to have the Sudetenland within Czechoslovakia. The policy appeasement is as foolish as giving your lunch to the school bully when he will only come back the next day.
Czechoslovakia, which was invaded by Germany with permission from Britain and France given at the Munich Conference. You ask which country was a "victim" of Britain's and France's willingness to appease Hitler, but you are not understanding the basic facts. The Sudetenland wanted to be part of Germany because they were Germans and they were separated from Germany after World War 1. So they were glad to get reconnected to Germany. Hitler used the issue of Sudetenland against Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia (including Sudetenland) were not part of Germany before WW1, but part of Austria-Hungary. When Austria-Hungary was broken-up as result of WW1, then Hitler decided to seize German-speaking Austria and then create a crisis w/ Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was seen as the victim of appeasement. By loosing the Sudetenland, they lost valuable territory rich in lignite, coal. So there was a victim - Czechoslavakia.

The policy of appeasement.
Prior to World War II, Britain tried a strategy of appeasement with Hitler. It didn't work, and Hitler ended up taking Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Appeasement was the policy of European democracies that aimed to avoid war with the dictatorships of Germany and Italy. Churchill was unusual in believing that Germany menaced freedom and democracy and should be resisted over Czechoslovakia.
Most of the countries that the Nazis acquired were acquired through military might that was not appeased by the future Allied Powers. The only case of active appeasement was when Nazi Germany was allowed to take control of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. There was also passive appeasement when Nazi Germany retook the Rhineland and Saarland buffer regions as well as the Anschluss with Austria. Some of the countries that the Nazis did not acquire through appeasement include: Poland, the remainder of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Monaco, etc.
