Critical Thinking 24-2 #4

If you had been a member of the British House of Commons in 1938, would you have voted for or against the Munich Agreement? Support your decision.
Even if I didn't have knowledge of future events leading up to WWII, I still would not have signed the Munich Agreement for multiple reasons. First of all, Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier had to be gullible idiots to sign that treaty thinking that Hitler was going to stop there. If it was that easy to get a piece of land, just by asking for it, why wouldn't he keep going? Winston Churchill was the only sane person there that day. He was right in saying that the other two "gave up principles to to pacify an aggressor."
