Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement toward Germany when Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles by rearming and seeking to expand its territory.

The Treaty of Versailles had been very punitive toward Germany, limiting it to an army of no more than 100,000 men, a navy of only a few dozen ships (and no submarines), and an air force of no more than 100 unarmed search and rescue aircraft. Hitler's rebuilding of the German military, in violation of the Versailles terms, actually began in secret in 1933 but went public in 1935. By then Germany already had a 300,000 man army and over 2,000 war planes, with plans for additional buildup.
But as Hitler announced his rearming of Germany, Britain and France essentially did nothing to stop him. They were struggling with their own problems as the Depression affected the whole world, and were not ready to pursue any war action against Germany. In 1938, the British and French prime ministers even went as far as to sign the Munich Pact with Hitler, which granted him their permission to annex the Sudentland, a portion of Czechoslovakia which had a large German population. It was not until Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 that the British and French finally were ready to shift from an appeasement approach and declare war on Germany.

the years following the end of world war i were a period of deep social tensions, aggrevated by high wartime inflation. food prices more than doubled between 1915 and 1920; clothing costs more than tripled. a steel strike that began in chicago in 1919 became much more than a simple dispute between labor and management. the steel strike of 1919 became the focal point for profound social anxieties, especially fears of bolshevism.

organized labor had grown in strength during the course of the war. many unions won recognition and the 12-hour workday was abolished. an 8-hour days was instituted on war contract work and by 1919, half the country's workers had a 48-hour work week.

the war's end, however, was accompanied by labor turmoil, as labor demanded union recognition, shorter hours, and raises exceeding the inflation rate. over 4 million workers--one fifth of the nation's workforce--participated in strikes in 1919, including 365,000 steelworkers and 400,000 miners. the number of striking workers would not be matched until the depression year of 1937.

the year began with a general strike in seattle. police offers in boston went on strike, touching off several days of rioting and crime. but the most tumultuous strike took place in the steel industry. then some 350,000 steelworkers in 24 separate craft union went on strike as part of a drive by the american federation of labor to unionize the industry. from management's perspective, the steel strike represented the handiwork of radicals and professional labor agitators. the steel industry's leaders regarded the strike as a radical conspiracy to get the company to pay a 12-hour wage for eight hours' work. at a time when communists were seizing power in hungary and were staging a revolt in germany, and workers in italy were seizing factories, some industrialists feared that the steel strike was the first step toward overturning the industrial system.

the strike ended with the complete defeat of the unions. from labor's perspective, the corporations had triumphed through espionage, blacklists, and the denial of freedom of speech and assembly and through the complete unwillingness to recognize the right of collective bargaining with the workers' representatives.

during the 1920s, many of labor's gains during world war i and the progressive era were rolled back. membership in labor unions fell from 5 million to 3 million. the us supreme court outlawed picketing, overturned national child labor laws, and abolished minimum wage laws for women.
