Appeasement & Neville Chamberlain by Daniel B and George B

Defining the word "Appeasement" Neville Chamberlain was that posh Prime Minister we had a while back that liked waving paper around. He also liked appeasing Germany. Google's definition: "The state of being appeased; the policy of giving in to demands in order to preserve the peace" This didn't work with Hitler - he thought he could walk all over Europe!

Background to Appeasement The most famous account is of the lead up to WW2 where Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler to try and prevent war. Firtsly: • Hitler joined with Austria in Anschluss • Then he remilitarized the Rhineland • He then took the Sudetenland of I haz mustachio! Czechoslavakia Lolzor!!!!?!!!111 • And finally conquered it

Reasons for Appeasement • People felt sympathy for Germany • People had a desire for peace as they could still remember WW1. • There was a threat of Communism from Russia and they didn't want to ally with them. • Many countries, especially Britain, needed time to re-arm.

Revisionist - AJP Taylor (1950) He thought appeasement was the best option at the time. Counter Revisionist - McDonough (1990) Thought appeasement was the only option, but it wasn't done very well.
