The 75th Anniversary of The Munich Agreement

The 75th Anniversary of The Munich Agreement



It was 75 years ago today that then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned home to London from Munich waving a piece of paper and proclaiming "Peace in our time".
If by "peace in our time",  he meant September 30th 1938,  he was right.  If he meant a longer period of time,  he was wrong.
