I mean, most western historians who grew up in comfort wonder why Chamberlain didn't want to go to war when wwi killed so many

He was unfortunate enough to face an enemy that was arming at a truly unprecedented rate. But he may have been advised about the German rearmament long before it outpaced Britain's ability to intervene, so his lack of options other than appeasement may be his own fault.

I don't think there's any historical reassessment that can make him look "good". Just "less bad".

The interwar period was short enough for everyone to remember the hellscape the Great War was, and Chamberlain (and really most of the world) didn't want that shit again.

And then, Hitler traipsed over into Poland anyway.

He told the author of Mein Kampf to invade a country then expected him not to want more.

The sad part is that they don't realize we're in effectively the same state as the 1936 Olympics right now. Authoritarian dicks everywhere, just waiting for an excuse.

The only real question is whether it's going to be Taiwan or Ukraine getting fucked first.

didn't they and the French put off Germany because they felt they weren't built up enough for another major war and they would need several more years to build back up their forces.
