Many historians consider Neville Chamberlain to be a weak leader. He is most famously known for his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany, which is seen as a failure in hindsight as it ultimately failed to prevent World War II. Chamberlain's approach to diplomacy and his failure to accurately assess Hitler's intentions have led to criticisms of his leadership abilities.

Neville Chamberlain - the British Prime Minister - didn't invade any countries. When Germany invaded Poland on 1st September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3rd September and Britain then sent the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) to France to re-enforce the French Army. Unfortunately, both armies were thoroughly beaten by the superior German Army resulting in the French surrender and the British evacuation from Dunkirk - probably the worst defeat that the British Army has ever had.

Chamberlain's Broadcast on the Outbreak of War September 3rd, 1939 I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10, Downing Street. This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final Note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany. You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win peace has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more or anything different that I could have done and that would have been more successful. Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged a peaceful and honourable settlement between Germany and Poland. But Hitler would not have it. He had evidently made up his mind to attack Poland whatever happened; and although he now says he put forward reasonable proposals which were rejected by the Poles, that is not a true statement. The proposals were never shown to the Poles nor to us; and though they were announced in the German broadcast on Thursday night, Hitler did not wait to hear comments on them, but ordered his troops to cross the Polish frontier next morning. His action shows convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force and we and France are to-day, in fulfilment of our obligations, going to the aid of Poland, who is so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack upon her people. We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany's ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage. At such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us. When I have finished speaking certain detailed announcements will be made on behalf of the Government. Give them your close attention. The Government have made plans under which it will be possible to carry on the work of the nation in the days of stress and strain that may be ahead. But these plans need your help. You may be taking part in the Fighting Services or as a Volunteer in one of the branches of Civil Defence. If so, you will report for duty in accordance with the instructions you receive. You may be engaged in work essential to the prosecution of war or to the maintenance of life of the people-in factories, in transport, in public utility concerns or in the supply of other necessaries of life. If so, it is of vital importance that you should carry on with your jobs. Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.

The shipment of Africans from Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean, and to the New World, is called the Middle Passage, which was the voyage across the ocean that the Africans were forced to endure. There wasn't really a specific explorer that brought them to the Americas, but since diseases from the Europeans had wiped out so many of the Native Americans, they had to find new slaves. The Africans seemed to have developed a certain immunity to the diseases, so, of course, they were the ones that were sent to America.

because he sacrificed the Sudetenland to preserve peace with Germany (Munich Pact). But it just postponed the war for 11 months.

Chamberlain thought that by appeasing Germany and Hitler, he could prevent war. Chamberlain, and many in Britan, thought that the Treaty of Versailles was too harsh and by giving back the land taken from Germany (and more) they would make Germany/Hitler happy and war would never come.

Yes they were. Winston Churchill in UK as Prime Minister. Hitler in Germany as Chancellor.

because he didn't trust intelligence reports warning him of hitler's intentions as he believed that it was allied misinformation designed to bring the ussr into the war. Also he thought that hitler wouldn't invade in june as that wouldn't leave him enough time to defeat the red army before winter set in. As well he believed that hitler wouldn't attack before having defeated britain first.
