Appeasment

Appeasement

Appeasement means 'giving in to a bully' or i n proper terms allowing something to subside. Many people scold Chamberlain now a days for appeasing Hitler. Chamberlain state d that "there was honestly nothing we could to that could prevent Czechoslovakia from being overrun by the Germans." There were many theories back then as to why Chamberlain did not stand up to Germany. Many say it was pure cowardice or fear of blood shed. Some even say he was trying to stall to allow the British to 're-arm' themselves. Along with the negative theories there were some positive or neutral ones such as the problems in Europe were not Britain's place to step in. Or that some British people just wanted peace and he was doing it for his people. Some even thought that a strong Germany would prevent a communist take over. And some even agreed with what Hitler was doing.
