What did Neville Chamberlain said after the Munich Conference?
After the Munich Conference in September 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain famously declared that he had secured "peace for our time." He believed that the agreement with Adolf Hitler, which allowed Nazi Germany to annex parts of Czechoslovakia, would prevent further conflict in Europe. However, this sentiment was short-lived, as World War II broke out less than a year later. Chamberlain’s statement has since been criticized as overly optimistic and naive in the face of Hitler's aggressive expansionism.
Neville Chamberlain was reluctant to get go to war because he was hoping that as Hitler had just annexed Austria and later the Sudetenland. he would stop. But unfortunately he didn't therefore forcing Chamberlain to take Great Britain to the war. * Neville Chamberlain has been severely criticized for not having gone to war against Germany earlier. One needs to bear in mind that the suffering caused by World War 1 made the prospect of a major war unpopular with the electorate in Britain and France. They also found it very hard to understand the obvious recklessness of Hitler. When a democracy goes to war the government needs the backing of the the electorate. * Ever since the early 1920s successive British governments had taken the view that the Treaty of Versailles (1919) had been too harsh and were in principle willing to rectify real grievances on the part of Germany. Chamberlain had gone to Munich to meet Hitler & returned with a piece of paper which stated Hitler had no more territorial demands to make in Europe. This policy was called Appeasement. Peace in our time was what they called it. Of course history shows that Hitler was totally untrustworthy. When the Germans invaded Poland, Britain & France declared war on Germany. The Appeasement policy was obviously to avoid another European war, and its aims were honourable, but with the benefit of hindsight had Britain & France acted together when the Germans re militarised the Rhineland.....

Where can agreement be of no avail?
One example of an agreement that was to be of no avail, was the non-aggression pact signed between Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler. World War II still happened between Britain, her allies, and Germany.
Therefore, any agreement that is not kept by either party is to no avail, and was a waste of time.
Why did Neville Chamberlain use the policy of appeasement?
Chamberlain may have only wanted to get along, to accomodate may not have been appeasemnt in his mind.

Peace was important not simply as a concept, it was important because people were truly war weary.

How did Neville Chamberlain die?

What did Prime Minister Chamberlain expect at the conclusion of the Munich Conference?
He more or less came home with what he had expected to get - a deal with Hitler that after Czechoslovakia, Germany would promise to put a stop to its territorial ambitions.
It is less amazing than it seems that Britain was OK with Germany's territorial claims so far. But you have to remember that practically all Hitlers 'land grabs' until Munich were pieces of what used to be parts of Germany before 1918 (The Rhineland, Sudetenland) and that had been annexed by others after WW 1 or 'given away' to newly formed States like Czechoslovakia.
The so-called "Anschluss"with Austria was something that the Austrians had asked for themselves in 1919, but had been refused by the Allies; and it had wide popular support in Austria in 1938.
Moreover, Chamberlain knew that he stood utterly alone. The USA was firmly isolationist and stayed totally out of European affairs at the time, France only thought of defense and of of doing nothing to provoke Germany, Russia was deeply mistrusted (as it turned out, for good reason) and the other European countries only wanted to stay out of harm's way and be neutral, poorly armed as they were. And those countries that were well-armed, were fascist and friendly to Germany. Chamberlain also knew that while he had a strong Navy, his land army would be no match for Germany's - as was proven correct in 1940.
His appeasement policy has been much reviled later, but realistically Chamberlain had no other option at the time. His country also had no reason to feel threatened: almost all of Hitler's 'lebensraum'-ambitions were directed to the east, where it could be expected that they might finally lead to armed conflict with the Communist USSR. Most British politicians at the time - and the Foreign Office - looked at such a conflict as a case of killing two dangerous birds with one stone.
