Édouard Daladier was a French politician who served as Prime Minister of France multiple times during the 1930s. He is best known for his role in the Munich Agreement of 1938, where he, along with leaders from Britain and Germany, agreed to allow Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia in an attempt to maintain peace in Europe. Daladier's political career was marked by his efforts to strengthen France's military and economic position during the rise of fascism in Europe. He faced criticism for his appeasement policies but remained a significant figure in French politics until the outbreak of World War II.
