Neville Chamberlain and appeasement?

Question

Without playing monday morning quarterback, was Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Hitler the right course of action?

Try to give an explaination why, not just yes or no

Answer 1

Yes , his was the correct decision ; keep in mind that the horrors of trench warfare in WW 1 is still fresh in the minds of the British as well as the international community of nations and no one wanted to go through the ordeal that many had undergone in the loss of a family member - everyone knew of someone who had lost a family member .
His was also a political decision that took into account the disposition of the citizenry with the exception of the prescient Winston Churchill .
Many in the world community actually sympathized with the German Nation because the Germans had not been defeated in the war ( this was supposedly the war to end all wars ) and only agreed to cease hostilities if Woodrow Wilson's 14 points were honored .
Neville Chamberlain's Peace With Honor ( Peace in our time ) was the politically correct decision and remember that most nations were still trying to recover from the war economically and the public sentiment was not there to support another war.
The economic crisis and the humiliating Treaty of Versailles that Germany was forced to undergo gave rise to chaos and an environment that was conducive to A.H. rise to power or someone like him ; WW 2 was an extension and continuation of the first WW .

Answer 2

No.
It encouraged Hitler to become more ambitious.
Even in early 1940 when the French and British forces were in France waiting for the Germans to advance, Chamberlain refused to believe that Hitler would attack

Answer 3

no, even without looking at what Hitler did afterward, it was not the right thing to let him take over other states with impunity.
