Who was Neville Chamberlain & what was the outcome of his famous meeting? What could the libs learn from him?

Answer 1

First off, I'd like to say that in my opinion, the liberals are not very big on history - it seems that they are hell bent on once again throwing the people who have supported us under the bus.
History has also clearly shown that the Islamic terrorists' own governments cannot negotiate or utilize diplomacy when trying to deal with these militants - why do so many people think that we infidels can do any better?
Ideologies of hatred and domination have to be confronted with force - people who pride themselves on slaughtering thousands of innocent people to try and further their objectives cannot be appeased, negotiated with or responsive to diplomacy. Jimmy Carter tried it as well as Chamberlain - neither were successful in bringing "peace in our time" - their efforts and the efforts of others to peacefully deal with these psychos were viewed as weakness and exploited, first by the Nazis and now by the Islamic terrorists.

Answer 2

The Peace Accords of Munich allowed Britain precious time to retool and rearm. Immediately upon his return, the Exchequer of the Navy and RAF were both summoned to increase research and development.

Furthermore it is worth noting that had Germany not been delayed for those critical 18 months, the British Battle of Britain would have been lost easily , as the next most advanced fighters after the Spitfires were BIPLANE surplus from WW1. So Stukas and other German aircraft would have been a full generation or two more advanced.

Chamberlain get's short sheet in history. He more than suspected what Hitler was doing. Although like many politicians he was shocked and unable in large part to conceive of Hitler's actual actions, he at least prepared England for the possibility of such actions.

Today we can know that marching off to war with Iran is not impossible to avoid. and it is HIGHLY desirable, since the greater enemies have been unleashed by our own actions but have not yet achieved their real goals.

We need to get our fiscal house in order in SHORT ORDER, that means citizen-government grants or some economic equivalent to fiscally constrain our debt and growth of Military and Entitlement expenditures.

Furthermore a Manhattan-project like development effort for large-scale fusion AND heavy investment in retooling our energy production to eliminate as much oil use as possible. This would be at least on the same effort as the war production of WW2.

The greater threat will be/is Wahabi extremists in the flavor of Al Quaeda who eventually seize control of Saudi Arabia thereby unequivocably forcing the world to fund Islamic extremism for the indefinite future.

Either way, a quick set of denial of resources (literal scorched earth policy on the part of a suddenly defeated Whahabi Clerical ruler) would be unavoidable and either way cause nearly certain US and Chinese economic collapse.

Afterwards, things get truly ugly, because it will be lights out and austerity our nation has never seen. Of course the bright-side is there is just no telling how psychotic a suddenly oil deprived China might become.

Answer 3

Neville Chamberlain was the British Prime Minister during the rise of Adolf Hitler. Chamberlain followed a policy of appeasement not wanting to provoke a war. Chamberlain agreed to the German demand to annex the primarily ethnic German population in The Sudetenland in Chekoslovakia. Hitler promised that this would be his last territorial demand. The British sold the Cheks down the river. Hitler did not keep his promise and on September 1st 1939 invaded Poland and the beginning of WWII. Hope this helps. We can all learn a lesson that appeasement can lead to the escalation conflict; armed or other wise.

Answer 4

The Peace in our time thing. Gee your clever.
Not all liberals are Doves, my Chair Born Ranger.
Being liberal don't mean anti-troops, Either.

Answer 5

Ah...the strawman 'libs' get bashed again. As if you were there in '39 and know what went on and why. Also, there's zero connection between the situation in Europe in the mid-20th century and the bogus war that the Bush Junta has us involved in in Iraq. A better question would be, what did the nazis learn when they invaded the USSR and attempted to occupy that country. Did they expect to be greeted as liberators? Did they expect to install a 'government' there that would be friendly to German interests? Did they anticipate several hundreds of thousands of 'insurgence' taking on panzers with molotov cocktails? No they didn't. Just as the Bush Junta failed to read the miserable history of occupations in the modern world. Did the germans expect that their toy Vichy France 'government' slow down the French Resistence? No.....they didn't even give a thought. How about the resistance in Poland and the Balkans? Nope! Never heard of it. For your historical information Chamberlain bought a little extra time for Britain to begin to mobilize for the war they knew was coming.....how do you think the technologic advances Britian made between Chamberlains 'visit' had time to jell....radar....the Spitfire....the training up a millions of British soldiers and sailors? Sometimes I wonder about you people and your obsession with your mythical 'libs'......two words...grow up!

Answer 6

I don't think Chamberlain's policy of appeasement in WW2 can be compared to the "liberal" philosophy today. I would like to see you, or anyone try however. That would make me happy.

Edit:
Germany was a state. Please show me the state of terror on a map.
To those who say, those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it...
Billy Faulkner said: The past is never dead, it's not even past.

History is more cyclical than linear and, to be frank, repeating history is almost inevitable, because any solution can be attributed to a past event. This reality makes the tired yet wildly popular maxim far too unwieldy to be useful.
Additionally, I think most historians would find the comparisons between WWII and the present a reach at best.

Answer 7

I don't know who Neville Chamberlain was and what the outcome of his famous meeting was. Why not look it up on the internet?

Answer 8

Mark had the correct answer. He however left out the part of The Republican opposition and obstruction to the US entering WWII. Even after the Pearl Harbor attacks.

Do not use WWII in your questions if you are a chicken hawk supporter. It just proves the fact.

Answer 9

I actually think we are living in 1939. How anyone could be naive about what is going on after Chamberlain laid most of Europe in Hitler's hands is beyond me...but here we are again.
Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it

Answer 10

The libs should learn this simple lesson: "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie..."

This a children's book they should read, it explains it all in simple terms that even the children can understand....written so that they do NOT make the same kind of mistake!
