Peace in our time, 1939 UK+
Neville Chamberlain described the Munich Conference of 1938 as a pivotal moment in achieving peace for Europe. He famously stated that the agreement reached with Adolf Hitler would bring "peace for our time." Chamberlain believed that by conceding to some of Hitler's demands regarding Czechoslovakia, he had prevented another war, reflecting his policy of appeasement aimed at maintaining stability in Europe. However, this perspective was later criticized as it failed to stop further aggression from Nazi Germany.

Neville Chamberlain famously stated that the Munich Pact had preserved "peace for our time." He believed that the agreement, which allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia, would prevent further conflict in Europe and maintain stability. Chamberlain's declaration reflected his hope that diplomatic negotiation could avert war, although this view was later criticized as overly optimistic and naive. Ultimately, the pact failed to prevent the outbreak of World War II.
On September 29 & 30, 1938, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy met in Munich to decide what action, if any, to take concerning Germany's aggression in Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia had no say in the discussion. BTW, the only delegate who did not need an interpreter was Mussolini. Source: "Il Duce: The Rise and Fall of Benito Mussolini" by Richard B. Lyttle.

Winston Churchill criticized Neville Chamberlain's actions at the Munich Agreement of 1938, famously describing them as a "shameful" capitulation to Adolf Hitler. He believed that Chamberlain's policy of appeasement not only failed to secure peace but also emboldened Nazi aggression, ultimately leading to World War II. Churchill argued that the sacrifices made to avoid conflict were misguided and that standing firm against tyranny was essential for true security.
Upon his return from the Munich Agreement in 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared, "I believe it is peace for our time," as he aimed to reassure the British public that the agreement with Adolf Hitler had averted the threat of war in Europe. Chamberlain believed that the concessions made to Germany, particularly regarding the Sudetenland, would satisfy Hitler's expansionist ambitions and promote stability. However, this statement was soon proven misguided, as Germany continued its aggressive policies, leading to the outbreak of World War II the following year.
Nope: Chamberlain returned from Munich in 1938, holding a 'piece of paper' & said 'Peace in our time'. On a scale of 1 to 10 for being incorrect it rates about 11. But that is not to say he was wrong to try to avoid war....
Wilt Chamberlain, though I'd say he was known for being a Warrior more than being a Laker.
I'd say about 5'9" or so
