1. The British and French administrations under Chamberlain and Daladier decide before the conference that there will be no territorial concessions. If they stand by this conviction, how would Hitler and Mussolini act during the talks? Is it likely an ultimatum similar to Danzig would be issued for the Sudetenland?
2. The Czechs refuse to accept the terms, forcing Germany to either invade or back down. How do parties of the agreement, and the Soviet Union, react?
How plausible are either of these scenarios? I can see a war resulting from the second being Germany vs. Czechoslovakia, with France and Britain initially washing their hands of the matter. Poland, Hungary, the Soviets and Romania would all have to make very difficult choices at this point.
War resulting from the first PoD, with Germany having no diplomatic cover and facing the prospect of a swift defeat could potentially lead to the
Oster Conspiracy being set in motion.
Anyways, I'd love to hear what everyone's thoughts are based on an alternate Fall 1938. If there are timeliness based on these Pods, could someone link them? Sorry if both of these have been posted before, I'm not very good at using the forum search tools.
