In September 1938, Hitler threatened to attack Czechoslovakia in order to bring the ethnic Germans living near the German border under his rule. The Munich Agreement gave this region, referred to by the Nazis as the Sudetenland, to Germany, leaving Czechoslovakia without defensible borders and paving the way for the Nazi invasion and partition of the country the following March.
1938年9月，希特勒扬言攻打捷克斯洛伐克，将生活在德国边境附近的德意志族纳入自己的统治之下。慕尼黑协议将这块纳粹称之为苏台德的地区划给了德国，致使捷克斯洛伐克边界无险可守，从而为第二年3月纳粹侵略并瓜分该国铺平了道路。
