appeased
Calmed through concessions
Appeased is the past tense of appease, meaning to calm or pacify someone by giving them what they want.
The word often carries a negative connotation of making concessions to avoid conflict rather than addressing underlying problems: The toddler was appeased with a cookie.
In historical contexts, appeasement famously refers to failed diplomatic efforts to satisfy Hitler's territorial demands before World War II, giving the word a lasting sense of weakness or capitulation.
