The situation was much more hopeless than e.g. Ukraine was/is in. The Czech part was almost completely surrounded by Germany (controlling Austria and Silesia). Slovak part had a long border with Nazi-allied Hungary. Poland was not friendly at the time (taking part in the partition). The only kinda friendly neighbor was the tiny sliver of border in the east with Romania.
If the Czechoslovakia decided to fight, it would be accused of aggression by the western powers (who basically declared Germany is in the right in Munich).
The "support" Czechoslovakia received from the western allies was an order to capitulate to German demands.
As a reminder, this was the situation in 1938: https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/u314/erding/Cz_map_15...
