the terms or to resist the Nazis on their own. On October 1, the Czechoslovakian had accepted the Munich terms and announced they have abandoned and made a protest to the world. Mr. Chamberlain had met a great demonstration when he had arrived in London, and a similar one was granted to Premier Daladier when he reached Paris. The British prime minister had highly declared a speech on September 30 about peace on our time. The Munich Agreement did not however bring peace. The Nazis had seized the rest of Czechoslovakian in the spring of 1939 and then on September of 1939, they had invaded Poland which had started World War 2. It had been argued that the hesitation of Britain and France to try and stand up to Hitler which had encouraged him to take over Europe. The Munich Agreement had been held up as a prime example to show the dangers of appeasement.
Appeasement was a policy that was used by Britain to try and avoid war.
It was the policy to accompanied by the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain. The aim was to try and reach an agreement with Germany to try and settle its trouble once and for all. It was based on the opinion that Germany had valid complaints as the terms of Versailles were very harsh and that it was not worth going to war over distant territories and that would be difficult to critical to defend. Britain had made a deal to Hitler in hope that would be satisfied. In the final stage, it gave Britain time to rearm and prepare for war if it came to that. With knowledge, many people have blamed Neville for being naïve and foolish in trying to trust Hitler, who has proven to be cruel and always broke promises. Some have gone as far as trying to accuse Neville for being a coward by trying to avoid war. The Treaty of Versailles had been very harsh on Germany and it seemed right to try and settle wrongs by trying to negotiate. Britain and France were happy like Hitler was the only true thing of getting back to what belonged to Germany. The British government was trying to deal with the depression and did not want to spend large sums of money on arms. It was thought that by surrendering to Hitler he could be trusted and it would reduce the chances of war. Some people approved of Hitler’s policies especially since the way he had reduced unemployment. It was not at all certain that the empire would support
another war. The delay confirmed that the support would be there.
