What action did Germany take in March 1939 that ignored the Munich Conference agreements?

In March 1939, Germany occupied the remaining territories of Czechoslovakia, which directly contravened the agreements made during the Munich Conference in 1938. The Munich Agreement, signed between Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, allowed for the annexation of the Sudetenland but was predicated on the belief that Germany would not seek further expansion in Central Europe. However, Germany's subsequent actions demonstrated that they had no intention of adhering to the commitments made at Munich.

The occupation of the rest of Czechoslovakia marked a clear violation of this agreement, revealing that Hitler's ambitions went beyond the Sudetenland and highlighted the failure of appeasement policies. This event signified a significant escalation in tensions leading up to World War II, as it shattered the illusion that diplomatic negotiations could prevent aggression from the Nazi regime. The actions taken by Germany thus set a precedent for future expansions, ultimately leading to the invasion of Poland later that same year, but it was the occupation of Czechoslovakia that specifically disregarded the Munich accords.
