Explanation
• If they were to enter another war straight away, this would mean that their economy would not have had a chance to recover before they start fighting again. Hence, their economy would be even further damaged. Hence, they adopted a policy of appeasement to avoid having to fight the war immediately, and give their economy a chance to recover.
