Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding Czechoslovakia?

1. Germany invaded the country and occupied the entire nation in 1939.

2. Germany had earlier been given the ‘Sudetenland’ region.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Answer 1

There was a revolt in Slovakia and Hitler forced the state to control the situation. Using this as an excuse, he invaded the country and took it over.

Because of its German majority, the Sudetenland later became a major source of contention between Germany and Czechoslovakia, and in 1938 participants at the Munich Conference, yielding to Adolf Hitler, transferred it to Germany.
