Of course the Soviets and the Slovak Republic also invaded. The Soviets 
ultimately became the gallant allies. Annexing Sudentenland wasn't as 
clear cut. Poland and Hungary wasted no time grabbing the parts of 
Czechoslovakia they wanted. 

The US wasn't all that triggered. The sentiment was to let the Europeans 
fight amongst themselves. It took Roosevelt two years to troll the 
Japanese into an attack and Hitler stupidly lived up to his agreement with 
Japan and declared war on the US. Roosevelt trolled him too but he never 
took the bait.

The truth is nobody wanted a boatload of Jews.
