I think it would have taken Germany a few years longer to be ready for war. The rest of the world would have been further involved in de-arming and there would have been nothing left to fight with.
It's been said once that if Hitler would have had the patience and waited until 1942 the german army's would have had a 'walk in the park'.
So, if Chamberlain would not have given in, the outcome would surely have been different. The invasion of England would have taken place and that would have been the end for the rest of Europe and the world.

So you think that just because the Germans didn't get the sudetenland (in this what if) the Britains would have lost the war, their island as well as the entire of Europe and the Soviets as well?
You must rememeber that even if the war started 1 or even 5 years later Germany would still be facing a man shortage expecially if she managed to take all these areas of the world. Now why would losing the sudetenland change this position that Germany was in?, if anything they would have had less resoureces and man power at the start as well as the Germans themselves ot being completely ready for a war considering that they werent completely ready for the polish invasion.
Also you must take into account the fact that Germany was not a completely mechanized army as it leads us to believe, but mostly horsedrawn transports before and well into the war, so how could they take the entire of Europe with horses? How would they cross the channel? how would they go against the industrial might of Russia?
