czechoslovakia was allied to france, and any german attack on the former would cause a war with the latter. furthermore, though great britain had no alliance with czechoslovakia, it was likely that if a franco-german war began, then britain would intervene rather than risk the possibility of france being defeated, which make germany the dominant power in europe. it was precisely for this reason that britain become involved in the sudeten crisis it was assumed in london that germany would defeat france without britain and the possibility of germany as the dominant power in europe was seen as unacceptable in whitehall; the british wanted to stop a german-czechoslovak war because it would lead to a franco-german war that britain would inevitably become involved in. furthermore, the soviet union was allied to czechoslovakia and would also be drawn in the war. however, the terms of the soviet-czechoslovak treaty stated that the soviets were only obliged to declare war on germany if france likewise did so. much of the wehrmacht leadership, led by the chief of the general staff, general ludwig beck, objected to hitler's plans to attack czechoslovakia in 1938 as likely to cause germany to be embroiled in a war with france, the soviet union and probably britain at a time when beck and the other wehrmacht generals believed that german rearmament was not sufficient advanced for another world war. beck himself had no moral objections to attacking czechoslovakia, writing to the commander-in-chief of the army, general walter von brauchitsch, on 30 may 1938 that "czechoslovakia in the form imposed by the "diktat" of versailles is unbearable for germany", but wanted at least five more years for germany to rearm before undertaking any operation that was likely to cause a major war. until the spring of 1938, german military planning for a war with czechoslovakia was based on the assumption that when the "reich" went to war with france again (something that the entire wehrmacht leadership regarded as both inevitable and desirable), it was would also go to war with france's ally czechoslovakia. in the spring of 1938, hitler had decided to attack czechoslovakia first "before the completion of germany's full preparedness for war" on the assumption that france would remain neutral, an assumption that beck and even some of the nazi leaders like hermann göring regarded as absurd.
