__ Neville Chamberlain __





__Info__ Neville Chamberlain was born on March 18, 1869 in Birmingham, England. He had a wife and two children. He was a part of the conservative party and was the British prime minister as Great Britain was entering World War 2. In 1930 he was the chairman of the Conservative Party and in 1937 is when he became the prime minister. He is known for his policy of "Appeasement" to Hitler and Germany. Appeasement is when you give in to something to avoid war/conflict so that there is peace. So instead of creating violent acts, he signed the "Munich Pact" in 1938. It was to give parts of Czechoslovakia to Germany. Some people say that this action to keep contentment was because at the time, Germany's military was way much better. Hitler ended up breaking the pact and invaded all of Czechoslovakia. He then entered Poland so that is when Chamberlain decided to make a move and declare war on Germany. For some reason this effected Neville in a negative way by finding himself on a "political decline" because he made the announcement a little late. After everything he made the choice to end where he was and give his position up on May 10, 1940. Churchill then took over for him as prime minister but he still continued to stay and be a member of Winston Churchill's cabinet. He died on November 9, 1940 from cancer.
