Your post implied that he knew that there were crimes against humanity occurring and did nothing.

A big difference.

That puts too much on his head. He never agreed to more than the transfer of the Sudetenland.

Chamberlain's mistake is obvious as hell in hindsight. But he was an good man who understood well the horrible meaning of general war. His mistake was in seeking to avoid the inundation of blood, and thus was both a great mistake, and an honorable mistake.

And in should be kept in mind that the Conservative Nevile Chamberlain continued the rearmament program begin in 1935 by his conservative predecessor, Stanley Baldwin.

Because your point about "liberal" Chamberlain turning his back on crimes against humanity was way off mark.

But at least you agree on one of my points.
Sorry, you responded to the original version of my post. I threw that away on edit, when I realized I'd misread you, and posted a different response, posing a question....

Perhaps. But not really pertinent. The point is made whether you want to detail the thread.
