"In Defense of Appeasement" by Neville Chamberlain

These are Chamberlain's beliefs regarding appeasement and the Munich agreement:

• Chamberlain believes that peace at all cost is the best outcome since he still remembers the atrocities from the first world war
• He understands that the Czech government is hesitant but this agreement is the best possible outcome because a world war is avoided. Also Czechoslovakia can rebuild its country under more nationalism.
• Chamberlain was a big pacifist who did not believe in wars
• He believes that the German government will handle the situation very reasonably
• Chamberlain knows it was a hard decision but it saved " Europe from Armageddon"
