Not everyone sees it that way, but the 1938 Munich agreement bought Great Britain a full year to increase military recruiting, pilot training, and armaments production.

Of course, the only word anyone remembers anymore is 'appeasement'. No matter how stupid, ill-advised, or morally bankrupt a move towards war might be, the voices of reason are always accused by the bloodthirsty hawks of appeasement.
