Gone Fishin'
Edited based on the initial feedback:
Appeasement was fully discredited after Hitler's occupation of Prague. What if, instead of taking the approach of drawing lines by guaranteeing the next prospective victims, Britain and France basically went onto a war footing in the weeks after the occupation of Prague, mobilizing, speeding up rearmament, economically embargoing and blockading Germany and preclusively buying up supplies. The British and French issue the Germans a "slow ultimatum" since the occupation of Bohemia is already a fait accompli, and the initial stages of the war from the Allied side will be "phony" as the OTL war of 1939. So on March 31, Britain and France demand Germany evacuate rump Bohemia in 60 days, and allow in League of Nations monitors, or Britain and and France will be in a state of war with Germany. [the 60 days timeframe is comparable to the amount of time Saddam Hussein was given to withdraw from Kuwait in 1990-1991]
What happens from April 1939 onwards under these circumstances?
