appeasement

 
     
  The policy of trying to satisfy another state by agreeing to some of its demands. Since the unfortunate experience of the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, at the hands of Hitler in the late 1930s, it has come to mean the dishonourable course of seeking peace at any price. Being charged with appeasement is an occupational hazard of diplomacy.
