The goal of WW2 appeasement was not avoiding war but gaining enough time to prepare for the inevitable. It worked well enough for Britain.

Did not really worked out for France. And they had opportunities to end the war before it even started

* When Rheinland was reoccupied and they did nothing

* When Austria was annexed and they did nothing

* When Poland was attacked and all German armies were in the east and they did, basically nothing.
