Infamy

chamberlain2.jpg

September 30,1938. British Prime Minister Chamberlain signs agreement with Hitler proclaiming "Peace in our time".

In the desire to stop a war, Chamberlains actions ensured its eventuality. This action, based on the hope for peace, instead resulted in the deaths of 52 million people world wide in what came to be known as World War II. It would take until 1992 for Czechoslovakia, the main object of the Munich agreement, to return to the freedom they knew before Chamberlain stepped in to help.

History records that Prime Minister Chamberlain was considered to be "a nice man".
