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.

Chamberlain met Hitler twice: 1. On 22 September 1938 in Bad Godesberg (now part of Bonn). 2. On 29-30 September 1938 in Munich.

Neville Chamberlain made the announcement on the radio to Britain about the war. If you type in Neville Chamberlain- radio there will be his speech!
3rd of September 1939

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.

Neville Chamberlain died in November 1940, long before the war ended.

Hitler thought no one would stop his expansion.

Appeasement

When Poland was invaded by Germany in 1939 there was already an agreement between Poland, France and Britain that if Poland was attacked the other two signatories would help.

Mr. Chamberlain sent a message to the German government stating that if they did not stop their attacks by a certain time, then a state of war would exist between Britain and Germany. Of course, there was no reply.

Chamberlain gave Hitler a piece of paper, which was not to have any quarrels with any other countries and invade them. He also said if you do have any disputes and want to solve them, by using military force - run it by himself (Neville Chamberlain) first rather than doing whatever as well being a expansionist and a opportunist.

yes

Neville Chamberlain was the British Prime Minister who declared war on Nazi Germany on 3 September 1939 so it is unlikely that he was a fascist.

Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 28 May 1937 until 10 May 1940.

Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister from May 1937 until May 1940.

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

in 1940 and he ate girrafes that why he is fat and over weight like cows pigs and elephants combined

1938

The policy of appeasement was a contributing factor to the outbreak of World War II because it was used against an opponent(Hitler) whose immediate goals included domination of Europe. Any act of appeasement stood little chance of satisfying him . He would always want more. As a matter of fact certain acts of appeasement did infuriate him such as when it delayed his acquiring Czechoslovakia. Once France and England came to the realization that Hitler could not be negotiated with they drew the line in the sand (guaranteeing Poland's sovereignty) that kicked of WWII. Most likely if they had acted decisively 2-3 years earlier they could have stopped Hitler without the risk of a long and costly war. Appeasment, a method used by Neville Chamberlain to make Hitler happy did not exactally cause the war. Hitler probably would have attacked Czechoslavakia if Chamberlain had not used a policy of appeasment. However, if Chamberlain had not the war would have been a lot shorter as Britain and France could have easily crused Hitler at the time. It was their inactiveity in face of battle that made WWII extremely difficult to win. Hi Sarah How could appeasement ever cause a war? Lets say ten states live together on a continent and everyone is appeasing eachother. How do you see a war there? Faith in military solutions to differences in opinion, belief that might is right, blind patriotism and aggressive foreign policies caused the war. Appeasement failed to prevent Britian from becoming engulfed in the war. Cheerio Tommy I don't think "cause" is the right word. World War II was caused by German aggression. But the policy of appeasement certainly did help bring the war about. If France and Britain had stood up to Germany when when Hitler did not have the strength to back up his threats, they might have forced him to back down without a fight or defeated Germany in a much shorter, less destructive war. Instead they kept giving him what he wanted, hoping to appease him, and Germany got stronger and stronger until defeating her required a fantastic war. Michael Montagne The policy of appeasement was not necessarily the primary reason for WWII. Although, appeasement was a major contributing factor. Great Britain and France both implemented the policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany because Europe was afraid of war at this moment. Europe had experienced WWI and the Depression. Appeasement worked because it temporarily averted war during hostile tensions. Another words it kept Hitler happy. Appeasement gave Hitler an apparently effortless triumphal march through the 1930s; it emboldened him and clouded his jugdement, but it didn't cause WW2.
