Winston Churchill
Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill were contemporaries of Hitler, and each had his own opinion about appeasing him. They completely disagreed about what In Neville Chamberlain's speech In Defense Of Appeasement he supports "peace" at all costs for Europe, regardless of any other factors. He believed that the Czech Government should agree to give Germany the territory that it wanted, and in time, the population concerned would be treated fairly under their rule. Chamberlain said that no matter how much Britain wanted to help Czechoslavakia in their time of need, they could not involve the entire British Empire in war because of one small nation. He was "a man of peace"(Perry 373) and did not think that Germany, or any other nation was planning to dominate the world by force.

This involved the loss of territory and strength, but a chance at enjoying the benefits of a national existence which was neutral and secure in his mind.
