Neville Chamberlain. He is known for his policy of 'appeasement' of Germany at Munich, a policy which ultimately failed.
Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister of Great Britain in September 1939 as Europe descended into World War Two after the failure of appeasement in the late 1930's. Chamberlain paid a political price for the failure of Britain in Norway in the spring of 1940 and resigned as Prime Minister to be succeeded by Winston Churchill. He died shortly afterwards.
Chamberlain wanted the nations to discuss and settle their differences so there could be peace of Europe for a generation.
The policy of appeasement was used by Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Great Britain during the 1930s. It failed because Hitler was never satisfied and always wanting more.
Chamberlain was the father of the "appeasement policy" of the mid to late 1930's in Europe. He felt that by "giving in" to Hitler's territorial demands he would prevent a larger war from starting in Europe. Of course the reality was that by giving in to Hitler time and time again......he only embolden Hitler into believing that Britian would not stand by Poland if Hitler invaded....leading directly to World War II
World War 2 began earlier for Britain and Europe than it did for the USA; Britain entered the war on 3rd September 1939 after Hitler invaded Poland in breach of the Munich Agreement. At the time, the PM was Sir Neville Chamberlain- he sent an enormous British Expeditionary Force to support the French from Nazi invasion, but was forced to resign his office in February 1940 after Britain's disastrous retreat from Dunkirk. He was replaced by Winston Churchill, who was in office until the end of the war in Europe in 1945 at the head of a Coalition Government. He was replaced in the General Election of May '45 by Clement Attlee, a Labour Prime Minister who was in office when the war ended against Japan.
