| Given that many of Europe's institutions were created to prevent the sort of hostilities that consumed the region in the 1930s and 1940s, more than a few are shuddering at memories of the Sudetenland. |
| In September 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain consented to Hitler's desire to take possession of the Sudetenland, an area in Czechoslovakia bordering Germany that was inhabited by about 3 million Germans. |
| After the war, Dachau was used by American forces as a military stockade, then as a refugee camp for Germans expelled from the Sudetenland. |
| Not only the separation of Slovakia, but in particular that of the Sudetenland caused unexpected economic problems. |
| The agreement averted immediate war and allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland. |
| A few days before the Germans marched into the Sudetenland in 1938, our family fled to Prague where another one of my uncles lived. |
